As a member of the National Association of REALTORS® and the Greater Louisville Association of REALTORS®, you must fulfill your Ethics obligation once during every triennial (3 years) cycle.   

Failure to complete this requirement will result in a suspension of your membership privileges with the Greater Louisville Association of REALTORS® (GLAR) and the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR).

Members may only satisfy their NAR Code of Ethics training requirement by completing an approved ethics course provided by:

  2. A State Realtor® Association, such as Kentucky REALTORS®.

NAR Ethics FAQ

WHAT IF I AM GRANDFATHERED?
Members who are “Grandfathered” by the Kentucky Real Estate Commission (KREC) may still be required to satisfy this NAR® requirement.  Only Emeritus members are exempt.

SECONDARY MEMBERS OF GLAR
Secondary members of GLAR, please contact your primary REALTOR® Association for more information about this requirement.

ARE ETHICS & CORE THE SAME THING?
No, they are not the same thing.  Ethics is not the same class as the Kentucky Core course.  Core is a CE requirement of the KREC. Ethics is a membership requirement of NAR®. They are two different requirements.
