Code of Ethics - REALTOR® Requirement

The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) requires REALTORS® to complete the Code of Ethics course every three-years. The current three-year cycle started on Sat., Jan. 1st, 2022 and ends on Tues., Dec. 31st, 2024. Per the CAAR Bylaws, an appraiser is a REALTOR®; therefore, this requirement applies to appraisers.

If you have completed a Code of Ethics course with a vendor other than with CAAR (see list below), please email your certificate of completion to education@caar.com by Fri., Dec. 13th. 

• McKissock Learning (NAR May the Code be With You)
• Moseley-Flint Real Estate School – 2023 – 2024 certificate of completion (Ethics & Standards of Conduct)
• Moseley Real Estate School (Ethics & Standards of Conduct)
• The CE Shop (Ethics at Work)

You have likely fulfilled this requirement when you renewed your real estate license. Unfortunately, the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation (DPOR), does not automatically pass on this information to REALTOR® associations.
