Professional Standards Committee

WHY DOES IT EXIST?

Every self-regulating group needs a jury pool – the professional standards committee is ours.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

Members sit on hearing panels for cases involving:

  • Code of Ethics violations (Ethics)
  • Contractual disputes and specific non-contractual disputes (Arbitration)

TIME COMMITMENT

  • Attend quarterly training meetings (2 hours every three months)
  • Serve on hearing panels as necessary (2 – 5 hours per hearing)

WHO CAN APPLY?  Any GCAAR REALTOR® member who has served at least one 3-year term on the Grievance Committee; committee must include a wide representation of brokerages

QUESTIONS? Contact staff liaison: Yvette Robinson
