Explore the REALTOR® Code of Ethics Colorado and Dispute Resolution
Review the sections below to understand the ethical guidelines, complaint processes, and dispute resolution services.
REALTOR® Code of Ethics
All professionals pledge to follow strict conduct guidelines. This framework exists within the REALTOR® Code of Ethics Colorado. The guidelines act as a living document. They evolve to remain relevant to an ever-changing real estate industry. These updates never compromise the standards of professionalism, honesty, and integrity required for public service. You possess the right to submit a formal grievance if a member violates these established standards.
Arbitration & Mediation
In addition to ethics complaints, PPAR administers a formal arbitration and mediation process for resolving financial disputes between REALTORS® — typically involving commission disagreements or procuring cause disputes. Mediation is available as a voluntary first step and is often a faster, less adversarial path to resolution than formal arbitration. Both processes are administered by trained PPAR professionals and governed by NAR procedures.
File Complaint REALTOR® Colorado
The Code of Ethics sets REALTORS® apart from other real estate licensees. All members of the National Association of REALTORS® pledge to abide by this strict standard. Local members conduct their business professionally. Consumers can file complaint REALTOR® Colorado if needed.
How to File Complaint REALTOR® Colorado
- All complaints must be submitted in writing within 180 days from the date a complainant knew (or would reasonably know) of potentially unethical behavior, or 180 days from the conclusion of the transaction or event, whichever is later. The Ethics Complaint Form #E-1 and all supporting documentation can be emailed to [email protected].
- Sanctions imposed may include reprimand, mandatory education, fines up to $15,000.00, probation, and in some cases, suspension or revocation of membership.
Fair review, clear steps, and trusted standards for consumers and members across the region.
Ethics Complaints
Ethics complaints are filed when a consumer or fellow REALTOR® believes a PPAR member has violated one or more Articles of the REALTOR® Code of Ethics. Examples may include issues related to honesty, fair dealing, disclosure obligations, or conduct toward clients and other real estate professionals.
