Through our Professional Standards Department, the Tri-Counties Association of REALTORS® has one of the most well respected programs in the State of California.

We can offer members of the public and our members numerous ways to solve a dispute.

All Tri-Counties members are required to settle their monetary disputes (usually a commission issue) through the use of our Arbitration program. Members submit to Tri-Counties an arbitration request including a summary of the events and pay a $500 filing fee. The process will begin and a hearing will be scheduled to settle the matter.


To preserve the integrity of our industry we encourage REALTORS® to adhere to the association Code of Ethics. Any violations of the Code of Ethics or MLS Rules by one of our members should be reported to the association.


If a buyer and/or seller are in a dispute (usually over a deposit or lack of disclosure) Tri-Counties offers mediation services for your clients. Our mediation services provide a quick and professional means of solving the dispute. All Mediations are processed under Pacific West Association of REALTORS®
