e051109 Can an inspector donate to a Realtor® related charity?

Question

As part of a Board of Realtor® effort, members are being asked to contribute to a charitable activity in memory of a Realtor member.  Is it acceptable for me to donate a set amount for each inspection I perform during this activity?       

Response

Donating money to a Realtor supported charity may encourage some Realtors to refer business to the donor, but this does not represent direct or indirect compensation to any Realtor involved in such sales, and is not a violation of the Code.
