The program covers the "rules of the road" with fascinating cues, clues, and news each REALTOR should know about the Code of Ethics. Licensees who are members of a Board or Association of REATORS are subject to the Code of Ethics as well as license law. Both are designed to provide guidelines for salespersons and brokers about how to fairly and smoothly represent buyers and sellers of real estate. While the Code of Ethics establishes obligations that may be higher than those mandated by law, in any instance where the Code of Ethics and the law conflict, the obligations of the law take precedence and REALTORS should understand the differences.
