Professional duties that build trust
The REALTOR® Code of Ethics establishes enforceable standards of conduct for REALTOR® members. Its Articles are organized around duties to clients and customers, duties to the public, and duties to other REALTORS®.
Three areas of responsibility
- Duties to clients and customers: honesty, protection of interests, disclosure and competent service.
- Duties to the public: truthfulness, non-discrimination and responsible advertising.
- Duties to REALTORS®: cooperation, respect for exclusive relationships and professional conduct.
Education and enforcement
PWR supports Code of Ethics education and administers the association’s Professional Standards process. Members should complete required ethics training and use PWR resources when questions arise.
