Let's Add Pro Bono Work to NAR Code of Ethics

Joe Ferrara is a man with many hats and one very big heart. He’s a real estate attorney in New York, a real estate broker, a premier real estate blogger–and someone who just might convince the National Association of Realtors (NAR) to add a pro bono clause to the NAR Code of Ethics.
Joe’s must-read blog article about this pro bono proposal is one that should inspire all real estate professionals to reach out to their communities and try to help people stay in their homes, even if they are not paid for their efforts. Why? some might ask–especially when times are tough for almost everyone?
Why?
Because, so many of us have the knowledge and expertise to help guide others through these treacherous financial waters. Because we are all weathering this storm together. Because someday real estate markets will stabilize. And because….
It sometimes just feels good to do good.
Thanks for this morning’s inspiration, Joe!
Would pro bono work be free from liability?

Thank you, Roberta, for your support.
Keahi: Probably not, but I wouldn't let that hold me back from offering my services.
Thank YOU, Joe!
