The Cecil County
Board of REALTORS®, established in 1959, has a responsibility to enhance the
ability and opportunity of its members to conduct their business successfully
and ethically, and to promote the preservation of the right to own, transfer,
and use real property through:
- Representing its
members in all real estate specialties
- Supporting a
legislative and legal environment which is favorable to its members
- Providing
opportunities for professional growth through education
- Communicating
informative news and market trends
REALTORS®
established their Code of Ethics in 1913 and it has survived as a viable and
relevant guide because it is a living document. As times have changed, new
needs and insights have been recognized and as the law has developed, the Code
has been amended as necessary to keep pace with the changing real estate
profession. With all the amendments, the philosophical premise of the code has
remained unchanged in promoting the highest level of integrity and fair
business practices. The Code of Ethics offers to REALTORS® the lessons of
hindsight, the guidance of foresight and the understanding of insight – A Rare
Gift of Vision.
