RE: Thoughts on My Ethics Policies for my New Office

in #realestate6 years ago

If you have issues with other agents or clients, we expect matters to be handled in a proffessional manner at all times. Yelling, cursing, bad mouthing, physical violence, intimidation, threats or other unacceptable behavior will not be tolerated."

Maybe ad gossipping with bad mouthing

We do what is in the best interest of our clients and customers, not ourselves. We are more concerned with our long term reputation than short term financial gain."

Maybe we are more concerned with a long-term business strategy, like developing our long-term reputation and this will ultimately benefit all of us more than short-term financial decisions.

was thinking about how can you add one line on how it is beneficial.

-Agents will abide by all fair housing laws. It is not our job to tell clients where they should buy a house, what a good neighborhood is, what good schools are, where high crime is, the cultural makeup of neighborhoods or other subjective information. Every client is different and will have different viewpoints. It is better to lose a client than to sacrifice our own values. Be honest with clients and tell them what we can say and why.

This words here are not consistent. Wouldn't telling a person a neighborhood is dangerous be consistent with most people's values? That information is objective with crime rate statistics. I might be over pedantic, but that was my thought.

I was also thinking you seperate it into categories with bolding to make the information more easy to read and understand the purpose.

real estate agents have to be careful about calling a neighborhood "good or bad" - there are redlining laws and steering laws that make giving personal opinions of a neighborhoods a little tricky - I think it is best if he lets the clients decide for themselves if it is a neighborhood that they will be comfortable with ..

Thank You! We legally cannot say things about neighborhoods. As what i feel is safe may not be the same as what others feel.
