This episode, we look at the professional conduct process through a case of defamation and public shaming.

How does the Professional Conduct Committee come to their decisions? How do they decide a proper punishment? And how do they weigh the damage done by misconduct with the consequences to the parties involved?

We answer these questions and more with Ethic Guy® Kim Spencer.

Each episode of our Standards Matter podcast reviews real disciplinary cases from REBGV’s Professional Conduct Committee to help you understand the issues and scenarios that cause some members to breach the rules of our profession.

If you’re a REALTOR® with a question about rules, standards or professionalism in real estate that you’d like us to answer on the podcast, email standardsmatter@rebgv.org.

In episode four of Standards Matter, we looked at lockbox security. Sellers trust their REALTOR® to keep their homes secure throughout the home sale process, but what happens if we fail to live up to this trust?

We explored this question in this episode by walking you through a disciplinary case that centres on lockbox security and client trust. We also spoke with experts and answer your questions about professionalism in real estate.
