Ethics for REALTORS® (REALTORS® Code of Ethics Training)

Purpose

Effective January 1995, the National Association of REALTORS® Code of Ethics was significantly modified to consider the development of new roles for the real estate licensee. Specifically, the ethical considerations relating to the new role of transaction broker, and for buyer agents, have mandated changes in the NAR Code of Ethics. Since 1995, the National Association of REALTORS has continued to revise and expand the Code of Ethics.

December 2022: Important Update
