Maryland EthicsTopic “D” | 3.0 HoursRequired by ALL licensees after first renewal.
Ethical conduct is the foundation of a successful real estate career. This comprehensive course explores the relationship between the Maryland Code of Ethics and the National Association of REALTORS® Code of Ethics, helping licensees understand their professional responsibilities and the standards that guide ethical decision-making.
Participants will review the history and purpose of both codes, compare their key provisions, and examine how ethical obligations apply to relationships with the public, clients, and fellow licensees. The course also provides an in-depth look at the enforcement process, including complaint procedures, interpretation of ethical standards, and potential disciplinary actions.
Through real-world case studies and interactive discussions, attendees will apply ethical principles to common practice scenarios such as agency relationships, disclosures, fiduciary duties, open houses, inspections, settlements, and interactions with other agents. Additional discussion will address emerging ethical concerns, including property flipping and predatory lending practices.
By the end of this course, licensees will have a stronger understanding of ethical requirements, enforcement mechanisms, and best practices for maintaining professionalism and public trust in real estate transactions.
