Ethics in Real Estate
Adhering to a strict code of ethics is not just my commitment to you, as your agent, it's the way I choose to live my life. You can be confident I will represent you in a manner that keeps your best interests at the forefront while conducting any and all activities related to your sale or purchase of property. In some businesses, simply doing what is legal may be good enough; and in fact, the guiding principle of ethics comes from the Latin "primum non nocere," meaning first do no harm. However, in my real estate practice, I demand an ethical standard that goes above and beyond the legal requirements. By adhering to strict ethical guidelines, I know I will earn your trust. By establishing trust, together we can build a long term business relationship that will benefit and enhance our mutual interests.
As a member of the National Association of REALTORS, I am bound by our strict code of ethics, which you can find at:

There are rules pertaining to: Disclosure of agency, financial arrangements, following the law of the land, marketing practices, negotiation methods, how clients are charged for services, how offers are presented, confidentiality, and more. All of these rules are intended to protect your interest.
I look forward to meeting and working with you and your family, friends and coworkers.
