KNOW YOUR CODE
The Professional Practice Team is pleased to launch a new campaign around the newly released CREA REALTOR® Code of Ethics Course. The Know Your Code campaign focuses on the connection between REALTOR® Professional Practice and knowledge of the REALTOR® Code.
The newly released course is tied to the updated version of the REALTOR® Code released in April 2023.
So, Why Should You “Know Your Code?”
Every single member of CREA (Canadian Real Estate Association) is expected to be a professional in word and deed.
The REALTOR® Code has been around since 1913 – over 110 years – and is a constantly evolving document that accommodates and anticipates our ever-changing and challenging marketplace. It sets the bar for members’ conduct in every aspect of their professional lives; with each other and with members of the public.
“The REALTOR® Code is intended to define the high standard of performance the public has a right to expect from those licensed to display the REALTOR® trademark.”
REALTORS® are obligated to the public and our profession (your peers). They deserve and expect:
- Professional, competent service
- Absolute honesty and integrity
- Utmost civility
- Co-operation and fairness to all
- Personal accountability through compliance with CREA’s standards of Business Practice
The Code “has bound REALTORS® together in a common continuing quest for professionalism through ethical obligations based on honesty, integrity, fairness, accountability, and professionally competent service.”
