RELATED TO ARTICLE 1OF THE CODE OF ETHICS:
Case #1-7: Obligation to Protect Client's Interests (Originally Case #7-8.
Reaffirmed May, 1988. Transferred to Article 1 November, 1994. Revised
November, 2001.)
Client A, an army officer, was transferred to a new duty station and listed his home for sale with REALTORŪ B as the exclusive agent. He moved to his new station with the understanding that REALTORŪ B, as the listing broker, would obtain a buyer as soon as possible. After six weeks, during which no word had come from REALTORŪ B, the client made a weekend visit back to his former community to inspect his property. He learned that REALTORŪ B had advertised the house: "Vacant-Owner transferred," and found an "open" sign on the house but no representative present. Upon inquiry, Client A found that REALTORŪ B never had a representative at the property but continually kept an "open" sign in the yard. Client A discovered that the key was kept in a combination lockbox, and when
REALTORŪ B received calls from potential purchasers about the property, he simply gave callers the address, advised that the key was in the lockbox, gave them the combination, and told them to look through the house by themselves and to call him back if they needed other information or wanted to make an offer.
Client A filed a complaint with the Board of REALTORSŪ detailing these facts, and charging REALTORŪ B with failure to protect and promote a client's interests by leaving Client A's property open to vandalism, and by not making appropriate efforts to obtain a buyer.
REALTORŪ B's defense during the hearing was that his advertising of the property was evidence of his effort to sell it. He stated, without being specific, that leaving keys to vacant listed property in lockboxes and advising callers to inspect property on their own was a "common local practice."

| Involve Yourself in The Association
It Can Be Fun and Rewarding
| The Delta Association of Realtors is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors elected by you. But that's not the end of it. There are many committees that do lots of work to insure that this association runs smoothly and you don't have to be elected to serve. Here are the committees: Budget and Finance, Business and Technology, Bylaws, Education, Membership, Grievance, Local Government Relations, Ethics and Professional Standards, Strategic Planning, Local Candidate Recommendation Committee and last but not least, the Delta Realtors Community Service Foundation (non-profit 501(C)(3). The committees typically meet once a month. Why not get involved? Call DAR at 757-8283 and let us know your preference.

The Purpose of the Delta Association of REALTORS is to support and enhance the professionalism and success of its members. We hope to Surprise, Delight and Challenge you as well.
