NAR Code of Ethics

Under all is the land.

This is the first line of the REALTOR® Code of Ethics, a set of professional standards and guidelines established by the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) for its members in 1913.

For more than 100 years, the Code of Ethics has set the bar for ethical standards and conduct that REALTORS® should follow in their dealings with clients, colleagues, and the general public. The Code is designed to promote professionalism, fairness, and integrity in the real estate industry.

‍

If you believe that a REALTOR® has failed to meet these standards, you can file a complaint.

REALTORS® are required to complete ethics training within a repeating three-year cycle. Failure to complete training during any cycle will lead to suspension of membership. The current cycle runs from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2024.
