Every real estate transaction is unique and with that uniqueness often comes ethical gray areas. This three-hour live online course, aligned with current NAR requirements, helps licensees deepen their knowledge and practice of the National Association of REALTORS® Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice. You’ll explore the differences between laws, morals, and ethics; examine the Code articles most often involved in complaints; and analyze real-world dilemmas to see how the Code provides clear solutions.

Through interactive discussion, polling, and case studies, you’ll gain practical strategies for:

  • Applying ethical standards to protect consumers and build trust.
  • Strengthening competency in real estate practice as a matter of ethics.
  • Steering clear of procuring cause disputes.
  • Understanding the foundation, enforcement, and dispute resolution processes within the Code.
  • Building best practices for working ethically with clients, customers, and other licensees.
  • Navigating new ethical challenges posed by technology and social media while modeling professionalism to strengthen public trust.

By the end, you’ll be better equipped to resolve ethical challenges, uphold professional standards, and contribute to the industry’s reputation for integrity.

This course was designed to meet the REALTOR® Code of Ethics Training Requirement. Please confirm that your local association, which administers the Code of Ethics training, will accept this course.
