In
1913, the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® took a nearly unprecendented
step and followed the professions of medicine, law, and engineering
in establishing and enforcing a Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice
for its members.
Now, as then, members pledge to abide by the Code, observing its spirit
in all activities and conducting business in accordance with the tenets
set forth in its articles.
In the interpretation of this obligation, a REALTOR® can look
to no safer guide than that which has been handed down through the
centuries, embodied in the Golden Rule: "Whatsoever ye would
that men should do to you, do ye even so to them."
The Code of Ethics of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® sets
REALTORS® apart from non-member agents and is the promise to the
public that when dealing with a REALTOR®, they can expect honest
and ethical treatment in all transaction-related matters. Only REALTORS®
pledge to abide by a real estate code of ethics, and only REALTORS®
are held accountable for their professional behavior.
So that NAR members remain on the cutting edge of industry professionalism,
the Association regularly reviews the Code of Ethics and the Standards
of Practice, and modifies them when appropriate. As a result, the
Code reflects the ongoing changes in the real estate industry, focuses
the thinking of Association leaders, and strengthens the commitment
of members. |
