It would be at the top of the list. They would have to be otherwise competent, of course, but without moral and ethical behavior, in my book, you have nothing.

Dave Adams, how important would moral and ethical behavior be with anybody YOU plan to work with?? Same answer.
Like caffeine is to coffee, it has to be there.

I'm sorry.... but this is a ridiculous question. How important would it be to YOU? It is VERY important, of course. But, one doesn't always know in advance. There are clues. Pay attention to the clues. Reputation is critical. Once you lose it, it's hard to get it back.

i think zero, becuase it is near impossible to have an accurate perception of the moral and ethical behavior of an agent in advance in most cases.

a great deal
Same applies to clients. Realtors just as often disengage those with bad behavior.

These are important qualities. I don't think as a consumer I would know how ethical they were.

It would be very important, if I knew about it. That would be the problem.

How would you as the client know what their ethical/moral behaviour was? There is no report card.

How would you know if they are working at your demanded level of moral behavior? Poor feedback is not reliable; whereas, a record of actions noted on their respective state agency license website would be. Unfortunately, so many who are unethical fly below the radar.

Not important at all. I would want the most immoral and unethical agent I could find.

How important is moral and ethical behavior?
It is SO important that it is a question that need not be asked.
It is like asking should I go on a cruise in a ship that floats or can not float?
But how does a home buyer determine the moral and ethical behavior of the agent? Yelp? Social Media? Stars on Z-devil? State licensing board? They are ALL deceptive.
How does a home buyer determine the moral and ethical behavior of their insurance agent, investment broker, attorney, babysitter?
Whose morals and ethics will apply?
Here in the kingdom of real estate, often bantered about is a a phrase "Realtor code of ethics" which is in no way related to the ethics and moral behavior one can assume you refer to or in alignment with the principle of morality and conduct commonly known as ethics.
Yes, moral and ethical behavior is important. Whose morals and ethics to apply is the difficult part.

First, we need to test all that & we will. Second, like attracts like. It matters
