Brunswick County Association of REALTORS® teams up with nationally recognized speaker for fifth annual National Ethics Day®
SHALLOTTE, NC – Leigh Brown, CEO of One Community Real Estate®, is spearheading the fifth annual nationwide fundraiser and training event on July 7, 2022. Brown will teach the National Association of REALTORS® Code of Ethics class to participating REALTOR® associations across the United States. Brunswick County Association of REALTORS® is proud to sponsor this event which is a nationwide fundraiser for the REALTORS® Relief Foundation.
National Association of REALTORS® Code of Ethics, adopted in 1913, was one of the first codifications of ethical duties adopted by any business group. The Code ensures that consumers are served by requiring REALTORS® to cooperate with each other in furthering clients' best interests. REALTOR® members must complete 2.5 hours of ethics training, meeting specific learning objectives and criteria, within three-year cycles.
As former EVP William D. North wrote, "To endure, the Code must be a criterion of excellence while at the same time constituting a realistic standard of performance. It must be a guide to measure professional conduct, while at the same time representing the furthest reach of professional aspiration. The Code must remain constant without becoming absolute, must be enforceable without being oppressive, and must be meaningful without being dogmatic. To REALTORS®, the Code of Ethics offers the lessons of hindsight, the guidance of foresight, and the understanding of insight.
“This is my gift to my profession — we're going to make a giant gift to the REALTORS® Relief Foundation.” said Brown. “When major disaster strikes, the REALTORS® Relief Foundation has one goal: help families who have endured unimaginable loss. Natural disasters continue to happen – pandemic or not. Our support will help RRF continue meeting the immediate housing needs of disaster victims.
