Ethical real estate professionals who adhere to a high set of standards help to ensure confidence and stability in an uncertain marketplace. The Code of Ethics, a living document maintained by the National Association of REALTORS®, unites those devoted to raising the standards of professionalism and service in real estate. Revised in January 2022 and designed to meet NAR Cycle 7 requirements, this three-hour Virginia Post-Licensing: Ethics and Standards of Conduct course reviews the Code of Ethics in spirit and language. Recent updates are highlighted and case studies clarify how the Code affects your everyday dealings.
In Virginia, new salespersons must complete eight post-licensing courses on state-approved topics, adding up to at least 30 hours of education. Virginia Post-Licensing: Ethics and Standards of Conduct is one of eight courses offered by The CE Shop to fulfill the state's post-licensing requirements.
Course highlights include:
The NAR Code of Ethics is being used only as a teaching tool. The NAR Code of Ethics provisions that are outside of the Virginia Real Estate Board's laws and regulations are not applicable to Real Estate Board licensees.
*This course was designed by The CE Shop 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.
