Inland Valleys Association of REALTORS

The Inland Valleys Association of REALTORS® (IVAR) provides various services to assist their Members, their clients and the public in the resolution of disputes. By virtue of becoming and remaining a Member of the Inland Valleys Association of REALTORS®, Members agree to abide by the Association bylaws and the REALTOR® Code of Ethics. Every REALTOR Member of the Association has a duty and responsibility to abide by the Code of Ethics, the Bylaws of the Association, the Rules and Regulations of the MLS, and the Bylaws of N.A.R. and C.A.R. The responsibility relating to enforcing the Code of Ethics, disciplining Members, and arbitrating disputes is governed by the Code of Ethics and Arbitration Manual of N.A.R., to the extent consistent with state law. Associations of REALTORS® only determine whether the Code of Ethics or association membership duties have been violated, not whether the law or real estate regulations have been broken. When broken laws or regulations are suspected or when the real estate professional is not a REALTOR®, you may need to contact the California Department of Real Estate (916-227-0864) or the courts. And if litigation is being pursued by the complainant, the Association will usually not proceed with the ethics or arbitration complaint until the litigation has concluded.
