Professional Ethics & Conduct in Real Estate
The ethical judgment institutional real-estate work actually demands: managing conflicts of interest, disclosing honestly, using market data with integrity, and handling client money and bribery pressure in emerging-market practice.
Curriculum
Why Ethics Is the Business Model
Trust as the adviser's only durable asset: fiduciary duty versus salesmanship, and what professional codes require and why they map to repeat business.
Conflicts of Interest & Disclosure
Acting for both sides, related-party deals, personal interest in transactions, and the disclosure and commission-transparency norms that manage them.
Honest Marketing, Data & Advice
Misrepresentation and omission in listings and pitches, honest use of market data, managing client pressure, and protecting confidential information.
Money, Bribery & Professional Boundaries
Client money handling, kickbacks and hidden incentives, anti-bribery basics in emerging-market practice, and when to walk away.
