SMS Consent & Opt-In
Transparent Communication for Your Association
The Ethics & Arbitration System (EAS) uses SMS text messaging to provide critical, time-sensitive notifications to members of participating Realtor Associations. We believe in transparent communication that respects your privacy while ensuring you receive important updates about ethics case management and arbitration proceedings.
About SMS Notifications
SMS notifications are essential for the proper functioning of ethics case management and arbitration proceedings. These messages are sent only for official association business and are never used for marketing or promotional purposes.

Message Frequency & Charges
Message frequency varies based on your case involvement and role within the system. You may receive multiple messages during active case proceedings, or none at all during periods of inactivity.
