    • Careers

Social media has become an indispensable tool for REALTORS® in Greater Vancouver and beyond, serving as a means of marketing and networking. However, the blurred lines between public and private spaces on social media can pose risks.  
In episode 8 of Standards Matter, we delve into two real estate cases that highlight how professional standards intersect with social media. 
This episode also features advice from REBGV’s Ethics Guy® Kim Spencer on best practices for Realtors navigating social media. He tackles questions such as whether it is acceptable to vent about another Realtor's conduct online, the concept of privacy within social media groups, and how to differentiate oneself without disparaging others. 
Each episode of our Standards Matter podcast reviews real disciplinary cases from REBGV’s Professional Conduct Committee to help you understand the issues and scenarios that cause some members to breach the rules of our profession. 
If you’re a Realtor with a question about rules, standards or professionalism in real estate that you’d like us to answer on the podcast, email standardsmatter@rebgv.org.
