Code of Ethics & Professional Standards

Members of the National Association of REALTORS®, Texas REALTORS® and WCREALTORS adhere to a strict code of the ethics; this is what sets a REALTOR® apart from a real estate agent.

NAR requires REALTORS® to complete ethics training of not less than 2.5 hours every three years. The training must meet specific learning objectives and criteria established by the National Association of REALTORS®. In addition, code of ethics training must be completed within 90 days of joining WCREALTORS.
