REALTOR® Ethics

Mandatory ethics training requirements for new and continuing REALTOR® members was established by the National Association’s Board of Directors at the 1999 Annual Convention with the following goals:

• to heighten member awareness of the key tenets of the Code of Ethics;
• to create an awareness of and appreciation for the role the Code can and should play in their professional lives;
• to enhance professionalism and competency; and
• to encourage REALTORS® to view their Code of Ethics as a living, viable guide in their daily dealings with clients, customers, and the public.

REALTORS® are required to complete ethics training of not less than 2 hours, 30 minutes of instructional time within three-year cycles.

Check your ethics date by logging into your account at faarmembers.com/myaccount and looking in the blue box for “Your Last COE Date.” Take ethics online or in the classroom or virtually if available—If taken elsewhere than FAAR, forward your completed class certificate to Membership Services Director, Lori at lhillardwehr@faarmembers.com. Ethics in the classroom is held every 2 months during the CE/PL seminars. Classes may be registered for individually or as a bundle.

This short article describes what happens to your membership when your ethics date is out of compliance.
