Talking The National Assn. of Realtors Code of Ethics DOES Have Teeth!

Realtor is still working, with that so called “Code of Ethics” In TV have witnessed bold lies from Realtors, guess code of ethics has a grey area for some, or maybe they know fines or loss of license is few and far between
It sounds like a piece or two of your story is missing. With whom did you file a complaint? That is the key, I think. First, you go to the broker of record of that office. Did you send a copy to the local Assn. of Realtors, the Florida Assn. of Realtors, Florida Dept. of Business and Professional Regulation? You probably missed a step or two. Who sent you the letter you received? How would other Realtors in the office know that no action was taken; it was none of their business???

If the situation was as "severe" as you say, being severe, the Realtor could have lost his/her license. The Realtors Code of Ethics does have teeth and penalties can be fines, suspension, or loss of license. Something is wrong with your version of what happened.
