USING THE CODE TO SOLVE ETHICAL DILEMMAS

Course overview

While conducting real estate business, have you encountered a situation in which you weren't sure what the proper course of action was? What the right thing to do might be? Or maybe you've heard your colleagues' stories and got that uncomfortable, itchy feeling that an action they took wasn't quite on the up and up. Let's look at an uncomfortable truth: real estate agents have a small tarnished image problem. With every transaction being unique, real estate licensees often face ethical gray areas. Some real estate professionals simply don't understand how to handle complex issues in the most ethical manner, and others bend the rules if they think it'll keep a transaction on track or a commission in their bank account and not a competitor's. Aligned to the requirements of the current NAR cycle, this three-hour course help licensees deepen their knowledge-and practice-of ethical rules of conduct according to the National Association of REALTORS Code of Ethics & Standards of Practice. The code isn't applicable to REALTORS only, who are duty-bound to uphold the code as a privilege of membership. The code's guidance serves anyone possessing a real estate license, and licensees who heed the code's various articles and standards of practice can do the greatest good of all: protecting consumers while also bolstering the reputation of all the industry's professionals.
