PDF Correspondence Course

Ethics are at the heart of what it means to be a REALTOR®. The REALTORS® Code of Ethics is more than a set of rules—it’s a shared commitment to professionalism, fairness, and integrity that elevates the real estate industry and builds trust with the public we serve.

In this course, you’ll explore how the Code came to be, why it remains essential today, and how it sets REALTORS® apart from other real estate professionals. You’ll learn to distinguish between ethical practice, legal compliance, and the unique standards established by the Code. Through practical case studies and real-world examples, you’ll gain the tools to apply Articles 1, 2, 12, and 17 in everyday transactions, understand how to navigate the enforcement process, and use Pathways to Professionalism to strengthen your reputation and client relationships.

By the end of this course, you’ll not only understand your ethical responsibilities—you’ll know how to live them out, model them for others, and communicate your commitment to ethics as a cornerstone of your professional brand.
