Question

While meeting with real estate agents during an open house, is it a violation of the Code of Ethics to give them food and drink?

Response

Providing gifts of low monetary value, such as snacks or beverages, to real estate agents would not be likely to be an inducement to the agents to refer a home inspector, would not constitute compensation or payment for referrals, and would not be a violation of the Code of Ethics
