Working with and competing against other REALTORS® is part of this business. That usually works out well for all parties. Occasionally, though, disputes arise and tempers flare. But use caution when communicating about a contentious situation. Article 15 of the 道德守则 states: “REALTORS® shall not knowingly or recklessly make false or 误导 statements about other real estate professionals, 他们的业务, or their business practices.”

The Code makes clear that all statements are bound by this rule, 是否亲自, 以书面形式, 通过数码手段, 或者用其他方法.

Also use restraint before passing along comments other REALTORS® make about a competitor. Repeating or retransmitting false or 误导 statements made by others is also prohibited.
