Under all is the land. So starts the NAR Code of Ethics. It continues: Realtors®, therefore,
are zealous to maintain and improve the standards of their calling and share with their
fellow Realtors® a common responsibility for its integrity and honor. In recognition and
appreciation of their obligations to clients, customers, the public, and each other,
Realtors® continuously strive to become and remain informed on issues affecting real
estate and, as knowledgeable professionals, they willingly share the fruit of their
experience and study with others. They identify and take steps, through enforcement of
this Code of Ethics and by assisting appropriate regulatory bodies, to eliminate practices
which may damage the public or which might discredit or bring dishonor to the real
estate profession. Realtors® having direct personal knowledge of conduct that may
violate the Code of Ethics involving misappropriation of client or customer funds or
property, willful discrimination, or fraud resulting in substantial economic harm, bring
such matters to the attention of the appropriate Board or Association of Realtors®
