REAL ESTATE LAW

Arbitration & Ethics Defense

Arbitration is a method of resolving disputes outside of court, where a neutral third party hears both sides and makes a binding decision. In real estate, arbitration can arise in various contexts, such as disagreements between buyers and sellers or disputes between landlords and tenants. On the other hand, ethics defense involves representing clients facing allegations of professional misconduct or ethical violations. This could include issues related to client confidentiality, conflicts of interest, or adherence to industry standards.

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • What is arbitration, and how does it relate to real estate?

    Arbitration is a method of dispute resolution in which parties submit their conflict to a neutral third party (arbitrator) for a binding decision. In the context of real estate, arbitration may be used to resolve disputes between buyers and sellers, landlords and tenants, or real estate professionals. It offers a quicker and less formal alternative to litigation for resolving conflicts.

  • What ethical standards apply to real estate professionals?

    Real estate professionals, including agents, brokers, and property managers, are bound by ethical standards set forth by organizations such as the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and state licensing boards. These standards typically include obligations to act honestly and ethically, maintain client confidentiality, and avoid conflicts of interest.

  • What should I do if I'm facing allegations of ethical misconduct in real estate?

    If you're facing allegations of ethical misconduct, it's essential to seek legal advice from a qualified real estate lawyer as soon as possible. Your lawyer will assess the allegations, gather evidence, and develop a defense strategy tailored to your specific situation. They'll advocate on your behalf during any disciplinary proceedings and work to protect your professional reputation and livelihood.
