A little more background about Peter... He has lived in many cities and states throughout our great nation and has decided to settle here in Pocatello, Idaho with his newly wedded wife. Together they settled into a quaint home and began to raise a family (better late than never). Having travelled every contiguous United State (that would be 48 mainland states) on his motorcycle, Peter decided that Idaho had what he was looking for: friendly people, abundant wilderness and a great balance of culture and serenity. Combining a personal success in Real Estate investments and a 14 year background in Graphic Arts, Marketing and Web Development in the corporate, small business and freelance arenas, Peter was primed for meeting his customer goals in the Real Estate business.

Peter does not agree with the phrase "business ethics." A person is either ethical or not. Calling it "business" is no excuse for unethical behavior. Peter can help you because he is focused on ethical business practices and personal behavior. Being a member of the National Association of REALTORs, The Idaho State Association of REALTORs and our local Pocatello Association of REALTORs maintains that he adheres to the ethical guidelines spelled out by these associations.
Ever wonder what the difference between a REALTOR® and a Real Estate Agent is? To be a REALTOR® you must honor the Code of Ethics and REALTOR® Guidelines.
Here is the REALTOR® Pledge that Peter Barton lives by. This is what it means to be a REALTOR®:
- I AM A REALTOR®
- I Pledge Myself
- To strive to be honorable and to abide by the Golden Rule;
- To strive to serve well my community, and through it, my country;
- To abide by the REALTORS'® Code of Ethics and to strive to conform my conduct to its aspirational ideals;
- To act honestly in all real estate dealings;
- To protect the individual right of real estate ownership and to widen the opportunity to enjoy it;
- To seek better to represent my clients by building my knowledge and competence.

Here's a Preamble to the Entire Code of Ethics:

Under all is the land. Upon its wise utilization and widely allocated ownership depend the survival and growth of free institutions and of our civilization. REALTORS® should recognize that the interests of the nation and its citizens require the highest and best use of the land and the widest distribution of land ownership. They require the creation of adequate housing, the building of functioning cities, the development of productive industries and farms, and the preservation of a healthful environment.

Such interests impose obligations beyond those of ordinary commerce. They impose grave social responsibility and a patriotic duty to which REALTORS® should dedicate themselves, and for which they should be diligent in preparing themselves. REALTORS®, therefore, are zealous to maintain and improve the standards of their calling and share with their fellow REALTORS® a common responsibility for its integrity and honor.

In recognition and appreciation of their obligations to clients, customers, the public, and each other, REALTORS® continuously strive to become and remain informed on issues affecting real estate and, as knowledgeable professionals, they willingly share the fruit of their experience and study with others. They identify and take steps, through enforcement of this Code of Ethics and by assisting appropriate regulatory bodies, to eliminate practices which may damage the public or which might discredit or bring dishonor to the real estate profession. REALTORS® having direct personal knowledge of conduct that may violate the Code of Ethics involving misappropriation of client or customer funds or property, willful discrimination, or fraud resulting in substantial economic harm, bring such matters to the attention of the appropriate Board or Association of REALTORS®. (Amended 1/00)

Realizing that cooperation with other real estate professionals promotes the best interests of those who utilize their services, REALTORS® urge exclusive representation of clients; do not attempt to gain any unfair advantage over their competitors; and they refrain from making unsolicited comments about other practitioners. In instances where their opinion is sought, or where REALTORS® believe that comment is necessary, their opinion is offered in an objective, professional manner, uninfluenced by any personal motivation or potential advantage or gain.

The term REALTOR® has come to connote competency, fairness, and high integrity resulting from adherence to a lofty ideal of moral conduct in business relations. No inducement of profit and no instruction from clients ever can justify departure from this ideal.

In the interpretation of this obligation, REALTORS® can take no safer guide than that which has been handed down through the centuries, embodied in the Golden Rule, “Whatsoever ye would that others should do to you, do ye even so to them.”

Accepting this standard as their own, REALTORS® pledge to observe its spirit in all of their activities whether conducted personally, through associates or others, or via technological means, and to conduct their business in accordance with the tenets set forth below. (Amended 1/07)
