How frequently is the Code of Ethics reviewed by NAR?

The Code of Ethics is reviewed by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) on an annual basis. This regular review ensures that the ethical standards reflect current practices and societal expectations in the real estate industry. By evaluating the Code annually, NAR can make timely updates to address new issues, incorporate feedback from its members, and ensure that the ethical guidelines remain relevant and effective in promoting professionalism and integrity among real estate professionals. This commitment to regular assessment supports the ongoing accountability of realtors to uphold high ethical standards, which is vital for maintaining public trust in the profession.
