NAR's Code of Ethics, adopted in 1913, was one of the first codifications of ethical duties adopted by any business group. The Code ensures that consumers are served by requiring REALTORS® to cooperate with each other in furthering clients' best interests.

​

As REALTORS®, our success isn’t measured by the bottom line. It’s measured by the trust of our clients and customers and the esteem in which we’re held by our colleagues and competitors. The National Association was founded with the goal of uniting the real estate profession through high standards to protect buyers and sellers. Over 100 years after its adoption, the Code of Ethics continues to be what sets us apart as REALTORS®.

​

• The Code of Ethics 

  • REALTORS®' Pledge of Performance and Service

  • Professionalism in Real Estate Practice

  • Pathways to Professionalism

  • Narrative Explanation of Each Article with Synthesis of Related Standards of Practice and Case Interpretations.

​

Silver City Regional Association of REALTORS® has adopted the Code of Ethics of the National Association as a part of its governing regulations for violation of which disciplinary action may be taken.

REALTORS® are different from non-member licensees in that they voluntarily subscribe to a strict Code of Ethics. If you believe that a REALTOR® has violated one or more Articles of the Code of Ethics, you can file an ethics complaint alleging a violation(s) through the local association of REALTORS® where the REALTOR® holds membership, or participates in a REALTOR® association-owned/operated MLS.

​

Boards and associations of REALTORS® are responsible for enforcing the REALTORS® Code of Ethics. The Code of Ethics imposes duties above and in addition to those imposed by law or regulation which apply only to real estate professionals who choose to become REALTORS®.
