CC. The agent must obtain written permission from the other agent before contact
DD. Agents may only contact represented clients at open houses

Soliciting clients who are under exclusive contract with another agent raises serious ethical concerns under the NAR Code of Ethics and can damage the profession. Hawaii agents should disclose if they know a person is already represented and avoid interfering with an existing agency relationship. This protects the integrity of agency agreements.
