Filing a Request for Arbitration
The following individuals may file an arbitration request:
- REALTOR® members who are principal brokers.
- REALTOR® members who are not principals, provided his or her principal broker joins in the request.
- Clients or customers of the REALTOR®.
Arbitration is not a disciplinary proceeding nor does it award damages. By becoming and remaining a member of the REALTORS® Association, each REALTOR® binds him or herself to arbitrate certain disputes. Not every situation may be arbitrated by the Association. Conditions and limitations exist which you must consider. The Association will explain these conditions and limitations to you.
Requests for arbitration must be filed within 180 days after the closing of the transaction, if any, or within 180 days after the facts constituting the arbitrable matter could have been known in the exercise of reasonable diligence, whichever is later.
