Code of Ethics/Sentrilock FAQ
What are REALTORS’® Disclosure Obligations Under the Code of Ethics?
An agent is contacted by a seller who wishes to engage her services to sell his house. The agent and the seller sign a listing agreement. After signing the listing agreement the agent discovers that the seller forgot to mention that he is having trouble making his monthly mortgage payments and because of the market, he now owes more than the house is worth. The agent is concerned because she has never done a short sale before.
In what situations can NVAR’s Citation System be used in lieu of an ethics violation hearing?
My buyer’s home inspection is scheduled for today. I am extremely busy and can’t make the appointment. Do I need get the seller’s approval before providing access to the buyer and inspector if I’m not going to be present for the entire inspection?
