When is the next deadline for completing the Code of Ethics class?
December 31, 2021
But, I thought it was December 31, 2020?
It was, however, last month at the NAR convention, NAR added a year to the current cycle making it three years instead of two.
Who has to take it?
Every individual who wants to maintain REALTOR® status; except REALTOR® Emeritus award recipients.
Do appraisers have to take it?
If the appraiser is also a REALTOR®, then yes. NAR’s online course contains a module specific to appraisers.
Do new REALTORS have to take it?
Yes, a condition of membership is that new members complete an online course before taking REALTOR® Orientation.
Recommendation
Don’t wait until December 2021 to look for a course. If you have to take your valuable time to do something, you should make it worthwhile. Consider taking it in the classroom from a trusted MRI Instructor when it comes up on the REALTOR® Institute’s Course Calendar and get it out of the way. Jo Usry is teaching the REALTOR® Code of Ethics at MAR on January 16.
