B
elieve it or not, we are nearing the end of another three-year cycle for Code of Ethics. Yes, that means if you have not completed Code of Ethics training in the last two years, then you better get on it! As mandated by the National Association of REALTORS®, all REALTOR® members must complete 2.5 hours of ethics training, meeting specific learning objectives and criteria, within three-year cycles. The current cycle is for the years 2022, 2023, and 2024. All REALTORS® must complete the Code of Ethics training through NAR by December 31, 2024. Failure to complete training during any cycle will lead to suspension of membership for January and February immediately following the cycle deadline, with termination of membership starting March 1 after the cycle deadline. So, let’s kick off this year on a good foot and make sure you are in compliance for your Code of Ethics training requirement!
