Major awards presented include REALTOR ® of the Year, Fran Henty Going the Extra Mile-Golden Rule Award, GRAR Honor Society, and YRN Rookie of the Year.
PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS
It's the Code of Ethics that separates REALTORS ® from other licensees and GRAR takes enforcement of the Code very seriously. Ethics complaints may be filed by REALTORS ® or members of the public. Ethics complaints serve to educate members as well as provide a disciplinary process when violations have occurred. Any person having reason to believe that a REALTOR ® is guilty of unethical conduct subject to disciplinary action may file a complaint in writing with the Local Board/Association of REALTORS ® to which the member in question belongs.
