About the PAR Legal Hotline

The PAR Legal Hotline is answered by in-house PAR staff attorneys. Here are some points to remember during your call:

  • Names or other parties or REALTORS® who may be involved in a particular transaction must not be mentioned.
  • If you do not understand the information given, ask for further explanation.
  • Hotline answers are based only on facts you provide. If facts are disputed, or if facts are not mentioned, Hotline answers could be different.
  • The Hotline cannot provide legal guidance for your clients or customers. Advice is intended for your sole use. In case of legal dispute, suggest that the parties retain their own legal counsel.
