Grievance Committee Members use their knowledge and expertise to serve local boards. They are professionalism ambassadors who work tirelessly to educate REALTORS® about their ethical obligations and strive to promote professionalism in the practice of real estate.
In ethics and arbitration cases, the Grievance Committee is tasked with examining complaints of unethical conduct and requests for arbitration from local Boards/Associations, either through direct requests or through Maryland REALTORS® local Board/Association Professional Standards Service Program to determine whether the ethics complaint or arbitration request should be forwarded to the Professional Standards Committee for a hearing.
The Grievance Committee meets quarterly to discuss relevant topics and to modify or implement policies recommended by NAR or relevant to assisting our local boards/associations in supporting their respective Grievance Committees.
Members may attend in person or virtually.
