Make sure you're aware of the upcoming member education deadlines and the latest NAR member benefits.
Dec. 31 is the deadline for all REALTORS® to complete a refresher course on the REALTOR® Code of Ethics. If the last time you took Code of Ethics training was 2012 or earlier, you can complete the National Association of REALTORS® online ethics courses or contact your local association for other training options. Training must include a minimum of two hours and 30 minutes of instructional time and meet specific learning objectives and criteria.
The new “with continuing education” online REALTOR® Code of Ethics training course ($29.95) offers a highly engaging and interactive experience plus an estimated three credit hours of continuing education in many states. This course is available through the Center for REALTOR® Development at www.onlinelearning.REALTOR.
