Before the hearing  
     
 

 

   Your complaint will be reviewed by the local Board or Association’s Grievance Committee. Their job is to review complaints to determine if the allegations made, if taken as true, might support a violation of the Article(s) cited in the complaint.
   If the Grievance Committee dismisses your complaint, it does not mean they do not believe you. Rather, it mans they do not feel that the allegations would support a Hearing Panel’s conclusion that the Article(s) cited in your complaint has been violated. You may want to review your complaint to see if you cited an Article appropriate to your allegations.
   If the Grievance Committee forwards your complaint for hearing, that does not mean they have decided the Code of Ethics has been violated. Rather, it means they feel that if what you allege is your complaint is found to have occurred by the Hearing Panel, that panel may have reason to find that a violation of the Code of Ethics has occurred.
   If your complaint is dismissed as not requiring a hearing, you can appeal that dismissal to the Board of Directors of the local Board or Association of REALTORS®.
