Code of Ethics Revisions for 2021

The 2021 Code of Ethics contains a new Standard of Practice under Article 10. Standard of Practice 10-5 states, “REALTORS® must not use harassing speech, hate speech, epithets, or slurs based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity. (Adopted and effective November 13, 2020)”.
Unlike most of the rest of the code, Standard of Practice 10-5 is not specifically limited to the context of real estate transactions. NAR wanted to address a dramatic increase in reports of REALTORS® engaging in various sorts of bigoted activity.
