Mandatory Arbitration

bryanlenox February 17, 2021

Every REALTOR principal has the right to request arbitration.  It is described in the REALTOR Code of Ethics as both a duty and a privilege.  Arbitration can be mandatory or voluntary.  These types of arbitration are mandatory:

 

  • Client to REALTOR principal (where the client initiates the arbitration and agrees to be bound by the outcome)
  • REALTOR principal to REALTOR principal

 

If an agent for a company who is not the REALTOR principal wishes to pursue arbitration against an agent from another firm, the REALTOR principal must join in the arbitration request.  The arbitration request would be made against both the agent and the REALTOR principal of the other firm.
