Which code must all Georgia REALTORS® adhere to?

All Georgia REALTORS® must adhere to the NAR Code of Ethics, which is established by the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). This code outlines the ethical obligations and standards of conduct for real estate professionals who hold the REALTOR® designation. It serves as a guideline for REALTORS® to ensure their practices uphold integrity, fairness, and professionalism in their dealings with clients, customers, and the public.

The NAR Code of Ethics encompasses various aspects of real estate practice, including duties to clients and customers, duties to the public, and duties to other REALTORS®. Following this code is essential for maintaining a good reputation within the industry and fostering trust among consumers.

While other codes or guidelines, such as the Georgia Real Estate Commission Rules, may apply regulatory standards for real estate practice in Georgia, the NAR Code of Ethics specifically outlines the ethical guidelines that REALTORS® must follow. Thus, adherence to the NAR Code is fundamental for all Georgia REALTORS®.
