You cannot offer a second opinion if another REALTOR®’s clients ask you about their broker’s general real estate practices.

小说. Although the 道德守则 does not preclude you from offering an opinion about another real estate professional’s business practices, if you choose to offer an opinion, you must observe strict standards of professional integrity and provide objective, 可靠的信息. It is a violation of Article 15 of the 道德守则 to knowingly or recklessly make false or 误导 statements about other real estate professionals, 他们的业务, or their business practices. Keep in mind that making derogatory comments about others’ real estate practices can also diminish the public’s appreciation of REALTORS®.
