NAR® Ethics

Description

State Requirements

While conducting real estate business, have you encountered a situation in which you weren’t sure what the proper course of action was? What the right thing to do might be? Or maybe you’ve heard your colleagues’ stories and got that uncomfortable, itchy feeling that an action they took wasn’t quite on the up and up.

Let’s look at an uncomfortable truth: real estate agents have a small tarnished image problem. With every transaction being unique, real estate licensees often face ethical gray areas. Some real estate professionals simply don’t understand how to handle complex issues in the most ethical manner, and others bend the rules if they think it’ll keep a transaction on track or a commission in their bank account and not a competitor’s.

Aligned to the requirements of the current NAR cycle, this three-hour course helps licensees deepen their knowledge—and practice—of ethical rules of conduct according to the National Association of REALTORS® Code of Ethics & Standards of Practice. The code isn’t applicable to REALTORS® only, who are duty-bound to uphold the code as a privilege of membership. The code’s guidance serves anyone possessing a real estate license, and licensees who heed the code’s various articles and standards of practice can do the greatest good of all: protecting consumers while also bolstering the reputation of all the industry’s professionals.

Course highlights include:

Laws vs. morals vs. ethics
Top articles of the code involved in the most complaints (plus a few more)
A candid look at the industry’s image problem
Common ethical dilemmas and using the code to solve them
Foundation and enforcement of the code
Competency in real estate practice as a matter of ethics
Steering clear of procuring cause disputes
Ethics concerns with technology and social media
Tips and best practices to keep your reputation polished to a high shine

*This course was designed by us to meet the REALTOR® Code of Ethics Training Requirement. Please confirm that your local association, who administers the Code of Ethics training, will accept this course.

Course Duplication: Please note that the Nebraska Real Estate Commission does not allow for duplication of CE elective courses within four years. However, "R" (required) courses are an exception to this rule and may be duplicated in subsequent Continuing Education periods but NOT in the same CE period. If an elective (non-"R") course approval number is duplicated in a four-year period, CE credit will not be given for the duplicated course. It is the licensee's responsibility to ensure they are in compliance with this rule. The course content number is used to determine duplication of content between courses. Do not repeat the same number within 4 years. Please refer to the duplication restrictions on the Nebraska website for further information.

License Approval Process: Starting on July 1, 2020, Nebraska requires an additional 6-hour course for pre-licensing. individuals licensed on or after July 1, 2020 must take a 12-hour course related to knowledge and skills in the real estate practice. If students do not complete this course, their license will be labeled inactive until the coursework has been completed. The CE Shop does not offer either of these courses at this time.
