Ethics and Professional Standards
The National Association of REALTORS® Code of Ethics is the one factor that distinguishes REALTORS® from other real estate agents. The Code of Ethics is universally recognized by practitioners, lawyers and laymen alike as the measure of professionalism in real estate. Every REALTOR® is required to take ethics training every 4 years. However, in the unfortunate event you have a complaint against a Pacific Southwest REALTOR®, we ask that you contact PSAR’s Professional Standards Department, at 619-421-7811 or e-mail prostandards@psar.org.
Through our Professional Standards Department, the Pacific Southwest Association of REALTORS® has one of the most well respected programs in the State of California.
We can offer members of the public and our members different ways to solve a dispute.

Arbitration
All PSAR members are required to settle their monetary disputes (usually a commission issue) through the use of our Arbitration program. Members submit to PSAR an arbitration request including a summary of the events and pay a $350 filing fee. The process will begin and a hearing will be scheduled to settle the matter. |

Ethics Complaint
To preserve the integrity of our industry we encourage REALTORS® to adhere to the REALTOR® Code of Ethics. Any violations of the Code of Ethics by one of our members should be reported to the association. |
