Pathways To Professionalism
Pathways to Professionalism
Pathways to Professionalism is a list of professional courtesies for voluntary
use by REALTORS®.
Originally developed by the Professional Conduct Work Group in 1998, the
"Pathways to Professionalism" was updated and approved by the NAR Board of
Directors at the 2004 Annual Conference and Expo.

Pathways to Professionalism
While the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice of the National Association
establishes objective, enforceable ethical standards governing the professional
conduct of REALTORS®,
it does not address issues of courtesy or etiquette. Based on input from many
sources, the Professional Conduct Working Group of the Professional Standards
Committee developed the following list of professional courtesies for use by
REALTORS®
on a voluntary basis. This list is not all-inclusive, and may be supplemented by
local custom and practice.
I. Respect for the Public
- Follow the “Golden Rule” – Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
II. Respect for Property
- Be responsible for everyone you allow to enter listed property.
- Never allow buyers to enter listed property unaccompanied.
- When showing property, keep all members of the group together.
- Never allow unaccompanied access to property without permission.
- Enter property only with permission even if you have a lockbox key or
combination.
- When the occupant is absent, leave the property as you found it (lights,
heating, cooling, drapes, etc). If you think something is amiss (e.g.
vandalism) contact the listing broker immediately.
- Be considerate of the seller’s property. Do not allow anyone to eat,
drink, smoke, dispose of trash, use bathing or sleeping facilities, or bring
pets. Leave the house as you found it unless instructed otherwise.
- Use sidewalks; if weather is bad, take off shoes and boots inside property.
III. Respect for Peers
- Identify your REALTOR®
and professional status in all contacts with other REALTORS®.
- Respond to other agents’ calls, faxes, and e-mails promptly and
courteously.
- Be aware that large electronic files with attachments or lengthy faxes may
be a burden on recipients.
- Notify the listing broker if there appears to be inaccurate information on
the listing.
- Share important information about a property, including the presence of
pets; security systems; and whether sellers will be present during the
showing.
- Show courtesy, trust and respect to other real estate professionals.
- Avoid the inappropriate use of endearments or other denigrating language.
- Do not prospect at other REALTORS®’
open houses or similar events.
- Return keys promptly.
- Carefully replace keys in the lockbox after showings.
- To be successful in the business, mutual respect is essential.
- Real estate is a reputation business. What you do today may affect your reputation – and business – for years to come.
