WRONG. Review Article 3 of the REALTOR? Code of Ethics and its
10 Standards of Practice

 

ARTICLE 3:  REALTORS? shall cooperate with other brokers EXCEPT when cooperation is not in the best interest of the client.  The obligation to cooperate does not include the obligation to share commissions.  

Let's break that down:

  • NAR's definition of cooperation (Article 3, SOP 3-10): The duty to cooperate relates to the obligation to share information on listed property and to make property available to other brokers for showing to prospective purchasers/tenants when it is in the best interest of the seller/landlords. 
  • Sharing with "other brokers" means ANY brokers who hold an active Mississippi licenses
  • The Article did NOT read "REALTORS? shall cooperate only with members of the MLS."
