Information pertaining to the NAR Code of Ethics, Professional Standards, and Mediation can be found on NAR’s website..
The NAR Code of Ethics lies at the heart of being a REALTOR®. Since its adoption in 1913, the Code has promoted time-honored principles that are generally defined as:
- Loyalty to clients
- Fiduciary duty to clients
- Cooperation with competitors
- Truthfulness in statements and advertising and non-interference in exclusive relationships that other REALTORS® have with their clients.
Read the entire Code of Ethics.
The current Code of Ethics Cycle runs from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. New and returning members can take the NAR Code of Ethics Course.
REALTOR® members who violate the Code of Ethics can be subject to sanctions by their local Association through procedures established by NAR.
If you believe another REALTOR® has violated the code or the law there are various ways you can attempt to resolve the complaint.
Basic information can be found on the professional standards page.
