At NAR’s latest Legislative Meetings in June, the Professional Standards Committee recommend changes which were then ratified by both the NAR Executive Committee and Board of Directors.
The new language,
1) creates a more specific definition of “harassment,” aligning with the definition in the NAR Member Code of Conduct, and
2) focuses Article 10’s—along with the entire Code of Ethics’—application on instances in which REALTORS® are operating in their professional capacity, consistent with similar ethical requirements applied by other large trade associations across the country.
“NAR is deeply committed to upholding principles of fair housing and equal treatment for all consumers—these changes aim to make the Code of Ethics clearer while continuing to hold REALTORS® to the highest ethical and professional standards,” NAR President Kevin Sears said in a written statement.
