We’ve created a professionalism podcast called Standards Matter that’s now available to you on all major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and Spotify.

In this new series, we use past professional conduct and arbitration rulings as case studies to help members better understand and navigate the rules, standards and ethical behaviors that REALTORS® are expected to meet today.

Our host also brings in legal and professional standards experts to discuss the compliance or ethical issues that were at play in each case. (Note: We remove the names and identifying information of the people involved in the cases that we feature.)

In the inaugural episode, we look at a case of good intentions gone wrong and how, in real estate, asking for forgiveness rather than permission can result in disaster.

This episode also features interviews with Ethics Guy® Kim Spencer and lawyer Kaitlin Smiley with Norton, Rose, Fulbright.

Listen to it below:

“We’re using the podcast medium to engage, inform and hopefully entertain you in a conversation about professionalism in real estate,” says Brad Scott, REBGV CEO. “We hope you tune in to each episode and submit your questions and comments about the issues or challenges that you feel are impacting Realtor professionalism today.”

If you like what you hear, you can subscribe and rate us on your preferred podcast platform. We plan to release new episodes every two months.

Do you have a question or comment you’d like our experts to answer on the podcast? We’d love to hear from you! Reach out to us on our member Facebook group or email us at standardsmatter@rebgv.org. 

We’ll email you new episodes as we create them.
