Working Together & Working Safer
Several
issues that have popped up again in recent months include Signage, REALTOR safety, and violations of the Code of Ethics. We want to take this opportunity to remind everyone of how important it is in our industry to do what's best for our buyers and sellers, be professional with each other, and follow safety precautions.
"Coming
Soon" or "pre-marketing" seems to be all the rage. However, there are several
downside effects of keeping your seller’s listing out of the MLS that you may not have thought about.
Watch a video regarding this topic from Florida Realtors lawyer, Margy
Grant.
Another
area of recent concern involves violations of the Realtors® Code of Ethics.
While not common, some portions of the Code are
often misunderstood or easy to forget. Here’s an article from Florida Realtor Magazine, February 2007 | by Kristy L. Harrington | page
30 that you will still find relevant today.http://www.floridarealtors.org/FLRealtorMagazine/2007/February/Yikes0207.cfm
Lastly, we want each and every one of you to be safe out
there. We have also read lately about some appalling and disgusting incidents regarding REALTOR Safety but it’s not only about
REALTOR Safety, your sellers and buyers need to think about it too. Here is a great article reviewing seller and buyer safety.
As we enter the last quarter of the year, let’s all be safe,
ethical and productive real estate professionals.
