Professional Standards

REALTORS® are different from non-member licensees in that they subscribe to a strict Code of Ethics. If you believe that a REALTOR® has violated one or more Articles of the Code of Ethics, and/or Membership duties as set forth in the bylaws of the Washington County Board of REALTORS® you can file an ethics complaint alleging a violation(s) through the local association of REALTORS® where the REALTOR® holds membership, or participates in a REALTOR® association-owned/operated MLS.

BEFORE YOU FILE A COMPLAINT

Before submitting a complaint, we encourage you to review our “Before You File a Complaint” guide linked HERE—a helpful resource
that explains the process, outlines what constitutes a potential violation, and may answer many common questions.
