The question we get most

Ethics Complaint or Licensing Complaint?

These two get mixed up constantly, and they go to two completely different places.

It's About Ethics

If your concern is about a REALTOR®'s professional conduct under the Code of Ethics, misrepresentation, unfair treatment, or a violation of professional standards, that's handled locally by NMAR.

It's About Licensing

If your concern is about whether someone is legally licensed to practice, or a violation of state licensing law, that's handled by the Montana Board of Realty Regulation, not NMAR.
