Let’s see in real estate many are members of the National Association of REALTORS, Florida Association of REALTORS and the Daytona Beach Association of REALTORS. OK, we have the Florida Real Estate Commission, the REALTOR Code of Ethics, our Board Rules and Company Policy, I think you get the message.
Lots of rules but what about MY CODE OF HONOR? I’m not just talking real estate I am talking all professions. Do live by certain rules? A Code?
- I will always educate and encourage homeownership and all the benefits that come with it. It doesn’ mean they have to buy or sell today, it means when the time is right with the decision being the customer. It is my responsibility as a REALTOR to preserve my profession as I truly believe what we do is a true and honorable service.
- I know in my heart it is a privilege to work with a customer, therefore I will provide quality service and equal opportunity.
- I will walk away from a customer if they are working with another agent. Why, it’s the right thing to do! Not because its quoted in the REALTOR Code of Ethics but because I would not want someone else doing it to me!
- I live by the golden rule! Cooperation and respect. However, violate a law or rule while working on a transaction together or try to entice me to do either. Plain and simple, I’ll report you, that way I will do a service for my entire profession.
- I will do my job objectively!
- Every decision I make in a transaction will always be in the best interest of my customer. I know if I treat my customer right, income will follow!
- I believe that it’s our responsibility to educate the public. We set the trends and spend all our time in the trenches. Who better than us to report the FACTS!
- I believe it is my responsibility to continually educate and train. My objective is always to do the very best I can. For growth in my business, for my own personal growth for my customers benefit
Do you walk the walk and talk the talk, going above and beyond the call of duty? The real question is do you have high standards? Your own personal policy, how about a Code of Honor?
