Parks Morgan Selected to Serve the Public and His Peers


Most people are not aware that real estate salespeople who are REALTORS are governed by a strict code of ethics. Unfortunately, as in all fields, not every REALTOR acts ethically.  However, the public has recourse beyond courts of law.  The REALTOR Code of Ethics.  Violations of the code can be reported to your local REALTOR board where the complaint is taken very seriously.  Through investigation, interview and review of a committee of peers the REALTOR in question may be fined or even expelled from the Board.


It is an honor to announce that I have been selected to serve on the Grievance Committee of the REALTOR Association of Greater Fort Lauderdale, one of the largest and most active boards in the United States.

The Grievance Committee is much like a Grand Jury in civilian courts.  We determine whether or not the complaint is valid and if so, recommend the case to the Professional Standards Committee which is much like a civilian court where the final decision of innocence or guilt is determined and the appropriate punishment decided.

This three year commitment is exciting for me and I am anxious to use this opportunity to further my education while serving the public and my peers as a REALTOR.
