License Law Violations
The Code of ethics is based on the concepts of “service to the public,” and a “commitment to professionalism.” These central concepts of public protection are the foundations upon which the Articles of the Code stand.
The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® was one of the first business groups to adopt a code of ethics. The first Code included “duties to clients” and “duties to other brokers.” Later, when real estate license laws were established, many of these laws were based on the standards set in the REALTOR® Code of Ethics.
To this day, many judicial decisions cite the REALTOR® Code of Ethics as the recognized standard of conduct in the real estate industry. Courts have applied the standards of conduct embodied in the Code of Ethics even to real estate licensees who are not REALTORS®.
In 2013, the REALTOR® family celebrated the centennial of the Code of Ethics, and provides an opportunity for REALTORS® to reaffirm their commitment to the honor and integrity the Code demands.
