NAR® Ethics

Description

State Requirements

There’s a reason real estate agents often rank among the least trusted professionals in the U.S. But what can you do to improve the public’s perception? And what should you do when you run into an ethical dilemma or into a licensee who’s not behaving ethically? As a real estate professional, you can help raise the bar and improve the reputation of the industry. You can lead by example.

Aligned to the requirements of the current NAR cycle, this course will empower you to recognize and respond to ethical dilemmas, inspiring consumer confidence. For answers, we’ll look to several articles of the National Association of REALTORS® Code of Ethics, and draw from real-life ethical scenarios. In four short hours, you’ll be better prepared to exemplify the professionalism and cooperation that’s the true foundation of the real estate industry.

Course highlights include:

Meets both regular ethics renewal requirements and new licensee ethics course requirements
The importance of ethical behavior in NAR members and non-members alike, fostering a spirit of cooperation
History and evolution of the Code, the preamble, and the Code’s influence on state licensing laws
Structure of the Code

If you complete more than one core course in the same renewal cycle, the system will not recognize the second core course and you will not receive any credit for the second core course.

Post-Licensing: Brokers are required to complete 120 hours of post-licensing during the first three years of licensure. These 120 hours can consist of any approved Continuing Education (CE) courses including the ones listed in our Tennessee catalog. Every course in our catalog, once complete, can be applied toward this requirement.

Special Licenses: There is a special license issued in TN - Designated Agent for Vacation Lodging. This licensee must take CE, but The CE Shop cannot report the course on their behalf. Each licensee must send their certificate(s) directly to the state.
