Course Description

Professional conduct is the foundation of public trust in real estate. The National Association of REALTORS® Code of Ethics establishes the standards of practice that distinguish REALTORS® from other real estate licensees and define the profession’s commitment to integrity, fairness, and consumer protection.

First adopted in 1913, the Code of Ethics was created to elevate professional standards and protect the public from unethical practices. Over time, it has evolved to reflect changes in the marketplace while maintaining its core purpose: ensuring that buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, and the public receive honest and competent representation. The Code extends beyond minimum legal requirements and sets measurable expectations for professional conduct.

This 3-hour continuing education course provides a comprehensive review of the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice, including its historical development, structure, and practical application. The course reproduces the Code as adopted by the National Association of REALTORS® and examines key Articles through discussion and case study analysis.

In addition to reviewing duties owed to clients, customers, the public, and other REALTORS®, this course explains the ethics complaint process, possible disciplinary actions, and the role of mediation and arbitration. The course concludes with an overview of the Pathways to Professionalism tool, which provides guidance for maintaining respectful and professional conduct in all business interactions.

Course Topics

This course covers the following topics:

• Unit 1: History of the Code of Ethics: Development of the Code and the foundational principles reflected in the Preamble.
• Unit 2: Duties to Clients and Customers: Obligations related to loyalty, disclosure, cooperation, and client representation.
• Unit 3: Duties to the Public: Standards addressing discrimination, truthful communication, and responsible marketing.
• Unit 4: Duties to REALTORS®: Professional conduct expectations in broker relationships, dispute resolution, and arbitration.
• Unit 5: The Ethics Complaint Process: Overview of complaint procedures, common violations, and potential disciplinary outcomes.
• Unit 6: Pathways to Professionalism: Practical guidance for maintaining respect for clients, colleagues, and the public.

Course Description

America represents equality of opportunity for ALL persons. The rich diversity of its citizens and the spirit of unity that binds us all, symbolize the principles of freedom and justice upon which this nation was founded. That is why it is disturbing when minorities, families with children, the elderly, and persons with disabilities are denied the housing of their choice because of illegal discrimination.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) enforces the Fair Housing Act along with other federal laws that prohibit discrimination and the intimidation of people in their homes, apartment buildings, and condominium developments - and nearly all housing transactions, including the rental and sale of housing and the provision of mortgage loans.

Equal access to rental housing and homeownership opportunities is the cornerstone of this nation's federal housing policy. Owners who refuse to rent or sell homes to people based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, or disability violate federal law, and HUD will vigorously pursue them.

Housing discrimination is not only illegal, but it also contradicts the principles of freedom and opportunity we treasure as Americans. HUD is committed to ensuring everyone is treated equally when searching for a place to call home.

This course will highlight the prominent fair housing and fair lending laws that every real estate licensee needs to be aware of when selling or leasing real property. It will also address the role that HUD plays in fair housing, the rights of LGBTQ persons, advertising issues with the Voluntary Affirmative Marketing Agreement (VAMA), and what could happen if a violation occurs.

Course Topics

This course covers the following topics:

• Unit 1: Federal Fair Housing Laws
• Unit 2: Federal Fair Lending Laws
• Unit 3: Special Topics Regarding Fair Housing
• Unit 4: The Complaint Process

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to:

• Identify when fair housing requirements got started in the United States
• List the types of discrimination covered by the Fair Housing Act
• Describe the purpose of the Americans with Disabilities Act
• Recall the provisions of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act
• Identify the major provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act
• Define the purpose of the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act
• Identify the various forms of discrimination
• Define the role of HUD and FHEO
• Determine the rights of LGBTQ persons in regards to housing
• Identify the significance of VAMA
• Determine the correct procedures to follow if a violation of the Fair Housing Act has occurred
• Identify HUD's process when there is a determination of discrimination
