REALTORS® Required to Complete Ethics Training for Second Cycle -- Deadline December 31, 2008

Between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2008, every REALTOR® is required to complete 2 1/2 hours of Code of Ethics training. REALTORS® who have completed this training as a requirement of membership in another association are not required to complete additional ethics training until the next four year cycle.

Associations are required to provide access to such training. Failure to comply with this required ethics training is a violation of a membership duty for which the member’s primary association will suspend membership until the training is complete.

There is also an accompanying ethics orientation training requirement for REALTOR® applicants that must be satisfied after applying for membership.

The following resources have beeen developed to help members and associations better understand and meet the ethics training requirements. CODE OF ETHICS
