Realtor Board

The following is taken from the 2000 Code of Ethics and Arbitration Manual:

Effective January 1, 2001 through December 31, 2004, and for successive four (4) year periods thereafter, REALTORS are required to complete quadrennial ethics training of not less than two hours and thirty minutes of instructional time. REALTORS completing such training during any four year cycle shall not be required to complete additional ethics training in respect of this requirement as a requirement of membership in any other Board or Association.

A REALTOR completing the new member Code of Ethics orientation during any four (4) year cycle shall not be required to complete additional ethics training in respect of this requirement until a new four (4) year cycle commences.

Failure to complete the required periodic ethics training shall be considered a violation of a membership duty for which REALTOR membership shall be suspended until such time as the required training is completed.

Every Board and Association is required to provide access to necessary ethics training programs either locally, in conjunction with other Boards and Associations, or through other methods (including, but not limited to, home study, correspondence courses, or Internet-based instruction). Any training offered pursuant to this requirement must meet the learning objectives and minimum criteria established by the National Association of REALTORS from time to time.

Please be informed that MSAR is offering two Ethics classes the first quarter of 2001. January 30 and March 27 from 9:00 a.m. - 12:45 p.m. at the Clayton County Water Authority. This class will be offered frequently throughout the year in order to fulfill our obligations to NAR and our members and you will be notified accordingly.

Please be advised that this has nothing to do with the Georgia Real Estate Commission's requirements for license renewal. This is an NAR requirement for all REALTORS.

Feel free to call the MSAR office should you have any questions - 770-477-7579.
