GSAR publishes list of members who have not completed NAR ethics training;

the deadline is Dec. 31

In an effort to help its members meet the NAR Code of Ethics training requirement, which all members must complete by Dec. 31, 2021, GSAR is publishing its Ethics Deficiency List. If your name is on the list, you have not completed a mandatory NAR Code of Ethics course within the January 2019-December 2021 Ethics Cycle. If you have completed the course, then email your documentation to the GSAR Education Department.

GSAR is offering a live Code of Ethics CE course taught via Zoom by Don Radke on Nov. 10, from 9 a.m. to noon. Register here. You may also take the free NAR ethics course to meet the requirement.

Once the course is completed, members must submit the Ethics certificate to the GSAR Education Department via email no later than midnight on Dec. 31, 2021 to avoid MLS service termination for being non-compliant with NAR’s COE requirement.
