A message from the Virginia Association of REALTORS®

Your business depends on your reputation

It’s a simple reality that how people think of you will determine how successful you are in your career. To sell more, to earn more referrals and repeat business, you have to earn the trust of the people you work with—clients, prospects, other REALTORS® alike. The Code of Ethics can help you; it’s a powerful business tool that should be the foundation of your daily work life.

Benefits of Living The Code:

  • Clients will trust you. And when they trust you, they’ll give you repeat business and, more importantly, referrals.
  • Other agents will trust you. In situations where yours is one of multiple offers, having the trust of the listing agent can often be the deciding factor.
  • Your reputation will grow with every transaction.
  • As your reputation grows, so too, will your business.

If you are a veteran REALTOR®, we urge you to reexamine The Code. If you are new to the business, implement The Code into your business (and the great tips we’ve included) and your career will be long and successful.
