The Code of Ethics that begins with Duties to Clients and Customers is published by which organization?

• A. Texas Real Estate Commission
• B. Real Estate Licensing Board
• C. National Association of Realtors
• D. International Real Estate Federation

Answer: (C)

The organization is the National Association of Realtors. The Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice, which begins with duties to clients and customers, is the guiding document published by NAR for Realtors. It sets forth the duties Realtors owe to clients, customers, the public, and other real estate professionals and is tied to membership in NAR. State licensing bodies, like the Texas Real Estate Commission, handle licensing and enforcement but do not publish this ethics code. The other organizations listed either refer to licensing boards or international groups that do not publish the U.S. Realtor Code of Ethics.
