As a member of EBR, you are also a member of the National Association of REALTORS® and are required to complete a course in Ethics to remain a member in good standing.
Did you know that all EBR Members must take a course in Ethics? Did you also know that everyone takes this course during the same three-year time period? The current time frame for taking a course in Ethics is January 2022 - December 31, 2024. Failure to complete an Ethics course during this time period will result in suspension of membership services and benefits as the local, state, and national level.
There are several options to fulfill the Code of Ethics requirement:
EBR: Take a three-hour course at EBR (counts for 3hr PSC credit, check calendar for availability)
