The National Association of Realtors is celebrating their centennial this year. Originally formed in 1908, NAR started not only to bring together Realtors® together but also to uphold a code of ethics to better serve clients who have real estate needs. The main principles behind the code of ethics is: loyalty to clients, fiduciary (legal) duto to clients, cooperation with competitors, truthfulness in statements and advertising, etc. There is a really great timeline of events on the NAR website, which pinpoints major events in real estate throughout these hundred years. There is a big difference between a Realtor® and someone who just has their real estate license. Make sure when buying or selling your home, that you use a Realtor®. If you don't know of one in your area, contact me and I will help you get in touch with a great professional in your area!
