Legal, Ethics & Professional Standards Services
By joining a REALTOR® association, members agree to comply with the REALTOR® Code of Ethics. But sometimes situations arise that require a neutral party to mediate. Our knowledgeable legal staff can help members with an array of issues involving legal questions, ethics complaints, arbitrations, mediations, and grievances.
Assessing potential risk to our members is one way RI REALTORS® helps to protect our members. The Risk Management Committee works diligently to anticipate, identify, and address areas of potential risk for you and your real estate business. By monitoring risk trends, we are able to offer education to REALTORS® about any potential concerns, as well as implement risk management programs, products, and services. Each month, we monitor top issues by categorizing the concerns of our members, gathered by calls to our Legal Hotline, providing the results in a monthly report.
