Question :

Is it a violation of Code of Ethics to offer a brochure for a specific Home Warranty to my clients? I wish to place the brochure in my inspection binder. I will receive a payment from the home warranty company if my client chooses to purchase their home warranty program.  

Response

No, the CoE does not prohibit the sale of additional products or services by a member unless a product or service, or the manner of its sale, violates the CoE.
