Membership Policies
Knox REIA is dedicated to being a destination for all people who are interested in learning about – or already investing in – real estate, from all backgrounds and levels of experience.Â
Submitting an application to join Knox REIA is an acknowledgement and acceptance that you have read and understand – and will abide by – the policies and provisions in our Membership Policies, Code of Ethics, Content Disclaimer, and Terms and Conditions.
Knox REIA is committed to providing an environment that is free from discrimination in its activities, employment and opportunity because of race, color, religion, creed, national origin, ancestry, disability, gender, sexual orientation, age or any other characteristic protected under applicable federal or state law.
It is the organization’s expectation that all members and organizations (including vendor, sponsors and partner members) will act in a professional and respectful manner. Any type of discrimination, harassment, illegal or violent action will not be tolerated.
Likewise, members are expected to act ethically and professionally in their business dealings and when dealing with the public, including their tenants, as detailed in our membership Code of Ethics.
Knox REIA members and non-members alike will not be allowed to use the meetings, website or any other means to create a non-solicited list for any reason. A non-solicited list is described as follows; passing a list around for others to enter their contact information, using a bowl, box or other collection devise for people to drop their business cards in, collecting contact info from the website or other methods where a member or non-member might think that the list is being created or cards are being collected for Knox REIA.Â
- Members and nonmembers alike are encouraged to network and collect contact information personally and individually. Not by means of some sort of mass collection method as described above.Â
- If such a list is being created, Knox REIA has the right to confiscate it and the individual(s) responsible for generating such a list will be reprimanded and possibly banned from any future meetings or events.
It is the responsibility of the leadership of Knox REIA to remove and prevent negative influences from attending these spaces when they are made aware of the situation, including – but not limited to – removing individuals who spend their time spreading gossip, negativity, and otherwise maligning or disparaging the success of others.
Knox REIA members will not use or distribute the Knox REIA logo, video recordings, documents or other resources without the express permission of Knox REIA leadership.
Offending members and visitors may be removed from the premises of any event where inappropriate behavior is taking place.
The leadership of Knox REIA, at its sole discretion, may terminate any membership without prior discussion or notice.
No refunds for membership, door, or event fees will be given in the instance of such removal.
Attendance by offending members, former members and visitors at future meetings and events will be at the sole discretion of the leadership of Knox REIA.
If you have any questions or concerns about our Code of Ethics, you may contact Knox REIA by using the Contact Us page, by emailing hello@knoxreia.com, or by calling us at (865)314-REIA (7342).
