National Association of REALTORS® (NAR)
Code of Ethics Training Requirement
Current Cycle: Jan 1, 2019 through Dec 31, 2021
NAR's Board of Directors recently approved a change to the Code of Ethics training requirement, extending it from every two years to every three ears. This extends the current cycle deadline from Dec. 31, 2020, to Dec. 31, 2021.
REALTORS® are required to complete ethics training of not less than 2 hours, 30 minutes of instructional time. The training must meet specific learning objectives and criteria established by the National Association of REALTORS®.
Failure to complete the required periodic ethics training shall be considered a violation of a membership duty which will result in suspension of membership for not less than thirty (30) days. On March 1, 2022, the membership of a member who is still suspended as of that date will be automatically terminated.
The deadline is December 31, 2021 to fulfill this requirement.
There are different options available to complete the required ethics training:
1. SEBAR is offering three more Continuing Education Classes this year with Jack Waller of NCI Associates. (See dates above)
2. The course is available on NAR’s website (www.nar.realtor) for no charge. Go to their website and look for Code of Ethics training.
If you have questions on whether you have fulfilled the Code of Ethics requirement, please feel free to email DBirkner@SEBrealtors.com

Beware of Scammers offering health insurance to NAR Members
Although the National Association of Realtors® offers insurance options, an NAR spokesperson warned that the association would not make calls to enroll members
Scammers have been targeting members of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) with robocalls from various numbers claiming to represent “NAR health insurance,” the trade organization has warned.
The association is cautioning that these calls are not from the National Association of REALTORS® and that its 1.4 million members should be vigilant.
“These calls and texts do not originate from NAR,” a spokesperson for the trade association said in a statement. “The association won’t make unsolicited calls to enroll you in an insurance program or otherwise solicit your personal information.”
NAR does offer a wide array of health insurance plans and different coverage options, which are available through the association’s REALTORS®
Scammers targeting NAR members is nothing new. In 2019, federal officials warned that there had been a 1,100% rise in real estate phishing scams. Collectively, such scams led to a $1 billion loss in real estate transactions in 2017 alone.
