Check Your Current COE Status

Who mandates the REALTOR® Code of Ethics (“COE”) training requirement?

What cycle are we currently in?

Is MOAR automatically notified when I complete my COE training outside of MOAR?

Does my post licensing course satisfy my COE training requirement?

I’m a REALTOR® and I’m also an appraiser. Does NAR’s COE requirement still apply to me?

As the broker of my firm, can I obtain a list of my REALTORS® who have not complied with the current COE training requirement?

What happens if I don’t comply with NAR’s COE training requirement on time?

Failure to meet the requirement is a violation of a membership duty and will result in suspension of all Board/Association membership rights, privileges, and services (including those provided by the State and National Association) for the first two months (January and February) of the year following the end of any three (3) year cycle or until the requirement is met, whichever occurs sooner. On March 1 of that year, the membership of a member who is still suspended as of that date will automatically terminated.
