What type of course is required by NAR for its members every four years?

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) mandates that its members complete an ethics course every four years to maintain their membership. This requirement ensures that real estate professionals stay informed about the ethical standards and practices that govern their conduct in the industry. The course typically covers the NAR Code of Ethics, which outlines the responsibilities and professional behavior expected of realtors towards clients, the public, and other professionals. This focus on ethics is essential in fostering trust and maintaining the integrity of the real estate profession. Regularly updating knowledge in this area helps realtors navigate complex situations with integrity and professionalism.

While finance, real estate practice, and continuing education courses are important in a real estate career, they do not fulfill the specific NAR requirement aimed at ensuring ethical practice.
