Professional Standards
RAHB holds its members to a high ethical standard, and works to promote professionalism among its members. Someone who doesn’t keep to those standards ruins it for everyone, so a complaints process helps straying members back into the ethical fold.
REALTORS® and RAHB in the community
Each year, RAHB and its members support local charities through donations to shelter-related organizations and though its annual REALTORS®4Kids Charity Auction. Events like the Charity Auction are great opportunities for RAHB members to enjoy a great evening and demonstrate how generous the REALTOR® community is.
