This should be the outrage of the day - The City of Atlanta, GA has decided that Real Estate Agents should be fined for not maintaining properties if they cannot locate the Owner. That is ridiculous. As Real Estate Agents, we are marketing the property, not the owners or operators of it. Thankfully, the Georgia Association of Realtors is backing their members. They advise Realtors to not pay any fines or penalties for code enforcement violations, as this could be setting a dangerous legal precedent for the real estate industry.
If you are a GA Realtor and are fined by Code Enforcement for the condition of a listed property, contact Georgia Association of Realtors Senior Director of Public Policy Keith Hatcher at 678-491-6585 to discuss your options.
