Code of Ethics

Leading the Way in Divorce Real Estate

While The ilumni Institute’s Code of Ethics establishes obligations that may be higher than those mandated by law, in any instance where the Code of Ethics and the law conflict, the obligations of the law must take precedence.

The Divorce Real Estate Expert shall:

• Maintain an active real estate license
• Have no disciplinary actions against their real estate license
• Adhere to the National Association of Realtors Code of Ethics at all times
• Be an active member with the National Association of Realtors
• Be respectful and collaborative with your fellow CDRE’s
• Teach and educate the family law community
• Not engage in dual agency in a divorce transaction
• Maintain an arm’s length distance between clients, buyers, escrow and cooperative agents in a divorce transaction
• Have no vested interest in the purchase of divorce properties for personal use
• Not represent one party in another transaction without the other party’s consent
• Not allow the sale to be more important than the family’s best interest
• Not receive nor give referral fees, or “kickbacks” for attorney referrals
• Not take a listing outside of one’s scope of expertise
• Maintain clients’ confidentiality from the general public

All active CDREs are bound by the Code of Ethics as set forth above.
