All the right tools for Professional Standards

The Michigan Association of REALTORS® professional standards toolkit integrates the National Association of REALTORS® Code of Ethics and Standards of Business Practice into everyday practice. The toolkit, a result of a survey of members and local association and board officers, provides association executives and committee members with a versatile and effective platform of learning options that they can, in turn, customize for their professional standards education experience.

These easy-to-use tools put the power of learning into the hands of the local members to pick and choose which ones are right for their training needs.


Michigan Code of Ethics and Arbitration Manual


A Manual for use by Member Boards of the National Association to ensure due process in the conduct of hearings to enforce the Code of Ethics and in the arbitration of business disputes arising out of the real estate business. Professional standards procedures of Member Boards must reflect substantively the approved due process policies and procedures of this Manual in order to ensure Board entitlement to coverage by the Professional Liability Insurance Policy of the National Association in litigation involving the Board in connection with Board enforcement of the Code of Ethics, provided that such policies and procedures are consistent with applicable state law.

For ease of references, all amended provisions where content has changed are shaded to highlight additions.
