Code of Ethics

Our Commitment to You

As REALTORS®, meaning members of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), we subscribe to, and are held to, a high standard of performance as defined by NAR’s Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice. 

In paraphrasing from Article 1 of the Code of Ethics – The Dean Team pledges to protect and promote the interest of our clients. This obligation to our clients is primary, but does not relieve us of the obligation to treat ALL parties honestly.

The Dean Team strives to exceed what is required or expected.
