As a member of the National Association of REALTORS®, you pledge to follow the Code of Ethics, which outlines your obligations to clients, colleagues, and the general public.

New members must complete a Code of Ethics new-member orientation program within the first year of REALTOR® membership. Some local association bylaws may indicate a shorter time frame, which takes precedence over the national requirements.

Established members must complete a Code of Ethics course once every three years. All members are grouped into the same three-year cycle.
