A REALTOR'S® Code of Ethics- A Brief Introduction​



Under all is the land. Upon its wise utilization and widespread ownership depend the advancement of national well-being and the perpetuation of the free institutions that go to make the democratic way of life.



The REALTOR® has husbanded and developed the land resource of the nation and, with his help, ownership has attained its widest distribution - a distinguishing mark that differentiates this from other civilizations and provides the real safeguard against radical impenetrations.



The REALTOR® is a creator of homes, both urban and rural, and by his activities, helps mold the form of his future community, not only in the living of its people, but in its commercial and industrial aspects.

Such functions impose obligations beyond those of ordinary business; they impose grave social responsibilities which the REALTOR® can meet only by diligent preparation and by dedicating himself as a civic duty to their fulfillment.



The REALTOR® therefore must be zealous to maintain and continually improve the professional standards of his calling. He shares with his fellow-REALTORS® a common responsibility for the integrity and honor of that calling. In the interpretation of his obligations, he can take no safer guide than that which has been handed down through twenty centuries embodied in the golden rule. In substance:

"Whatsoever ye would that man should do to you, do ye even to them"

Accepting this standard as his own, every REALTOR® pledges himself to observe its spirit in all his dealings and to conduct his business in accordance with the following Code of Ethics, adopted by the Philippine Association of REALTORS® Boards, Inc. (PAREB).
