The process of purchasing a home is a difficult time for many – financially, emotionally, and in every other way in between. At the California Desert Association of REALTORS®, we work towards making it as easy as possible for our REALTOR® members to assist their clients in achieving the American dream of homeownership.
Being a REALTOR® is more than just tossing the listing onto the MLS, putting up a sign, and just waiting for the offers to roll in. There’s more to it, and then some (and we haven’t even covered the paperwork aspect of it all). But beyond that, REALTORS® adhere to a strict Code of Ethics that protects themselves from doing harm or anything illicit, and – most importantly – protects YOU, their clients.
By being a member of the California Desert Association of REALTORS® and adhering to our rules, our regulations, and the Code of Ethics, our REALTOR® members remain utmost professionals and ensure that their primary duty is to help you, their clients, to find their dream home the RIGHT way. The REALTOR® way.
This section is not for our REALTOR® members, but it is for you, the consumer. Whether you’re selling your home or you’re an aspiring homeowner, we’ve compiled a few resources in the spirit of helping you further the dream of homeownership.
