Ethical Excellence Includes Equality
Welcome to Ethical Excellence - Includes Equality for All. The Code of Ethics of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® establishes a public and professional consensus against which the practice and conduct of REALTORS® and REALTOR ASSOCIATE®s may be judged. Where the word REALTORS® is used in the Code and Preamble, it shall be deemed to include REALTOR ASSOCIATE®s. In joining an Association of REALTORS®, REALTORS® signify their intention to abide by the Code and thereby enhance the public and professional image of themselves and all other REALTORS®. Adherence to the Code is the first great bond between REALTORS® throughout the country.
This course is a in depth look at the Code of Ethics of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® with intentions to satisfy the “existing member” educational requirement imposed upon member REALTORS® by the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®.
The English word ethics is derived from the Ancient Greek word êthos meaning "character, or moral nature". The roots of the concept of Ethos were established by the Ancient Greeks to whom Education and Wisdom were a priority. They created a brilliant culture and excelled in Science, the Arts, Philosophy, Literature, Poetry, Music, Theatre and Athletics. Each of these disciplines and many others have been transplanted throughout the world, along with meaningful customs such as the iconic launch of the modern Olympic Games that maintains the tradition of the Olympic Flame ceremony from the site of Ancient Olympia in Greece.
The word Ethos has its origins deeply ingrained in ancient Greece and, according to Aristotle, the Greek philosopher and scientist who also tutored Alexander the Great, Ethos and Virtue are in direct dependence. Socrates, one of the founders of Western philosophy who was also credited as being the first moral philosopher of the western ethical tradition of thought, stated that the culture of the people is revealed in the education systems chosen for their youth that are based on Ethos.
Pathways to Professionalism – the Golden Rule
Issues of courtesy and etiquette are also important factors when it comes to NAR's Code of Ethics & Standards of Practice. Remember, the word ethics is derived from the Ancient Greek word êthos meaning "character, or moral nature". These Professional courtesies are intended to be used by REALTORS® on a voluntary basis, and cannot form the basis for a professional standards complaint. But they do shape your personal and professional character. They begin with the very important respect for others:
While the REALTORS® Code of Ethics establishes obligations that may be higher than those mandated by law, in any instance where the Code of Ethics and the law conflict, the obligations of the law must take precedence.
This course meets the learning objectives and minimum criteria established by the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® for the required quadrennial ethics training to maintain your membership in the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®.
