What is the REALTORS Code of Ethics?
All REALTORS must know and comply with the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS Code of Ethics which goes beyond state licensing requirements. REALTORS are committed to treat all parties to a transaction honestly. They must complete ethics training by taking at least 2.5 hours of instruction at least once every four years to retain membership in the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS. A REALTOR is subject to disciplinary action if a local association of REALTORS finds him or her in violation of the Code of Ethics. Real estate agents who are not REALTORS do not subscribe to the Code of Ethics. By working with a REALTOR, you are ensuring that your transaction will be handled professionally, and that your rights in real estate activities are protected under the Code of Ethics.
