What is Quad Ethics?
Quad Ethics is an NAR requirement that teaches ethics beyond the state level of Ethics, each must meet.

The time requirements are as follows:
Cycle 2 1/1/2005 to 12/31/2008
(completed)
Cycle 3 1/1/2009 to 12/31/2012

Each has exactly four years within each cycle to meet this requirement.

Effective January 1, 2001, through December 31, 2004, and for successive four year periods thereafter, each REALTOR® member of the association shall be required to complete quadrennial ethics training of not less than two hours and thirty minutes of instructional time. This requirement will be satisfied upon presentation of documentation that the member has completed a course of instruction conducted by this or another association, the State Association of REALTORS®, the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®, or any other recognized educational institution or provider which meets the learning objectives and minimum criteria established by the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® from time to time.

REALTOR® members who have completed training as a requirement of membership in another association and REALTOR® members who have completed the New Member Code of Ethics Orientation during any four year cycle shall not be required to complete additional ethics training until a new four year cycle commences.

Failure to satisfy this requirement shall be considered a violation of a membership duty for which REALTOR® membership shall be suspended until such time as the training is completed.
(Adopted 1/01)

Members suspended for failing to meet the requirement for the first four (4) year cycle (2001 through 2004) will have until December 31, 2005 to meet the requirement. Failure to meet the requirement by that time will result in automatic termination of membership.

Failure to meet the requirement for the second (2005 through 2008) cycle and subsequent four (4) year cycles will result in suspension of membership for the first two months (January and February) of the year following the end of any four (4) year cycle or until the requirement is met, whichever occurs sooner. On March 1 of that year, the membership of a member who is still suspended as of that date will be automatically terminated. (Adopted 1/01, revised 5/05)

Have I taken it?

If you have taken an Ethics class and/or Orientation with an Association, Mosley (not Mosley Flint), attended the Road show, or on NAR's website then you have full filled the requirement.

As with each creditable class you should receive a Certification, (if not please contact the company that you took the class with), this is your proof of meeting NAR's requirement of Quad Ethics.

Who is responsible for knowing if I have taken it?

Each member is responsible for informing The Blue Ridge Association of REALTORS® they have met the requirements only:The class was not taken at the BRAR office, did not attend the VAR show, or if was not on NAR’s website.  The Blue Ridge Association of REALTORS® is responsible to NAR in providing proof that each member has met this requirement.
