NAR’s Board of Directors strengthened REALTORS®’ commitment to upholding fair housing ideals on Friday, approving a series of recommendations from NAR’s Professional Standards Committee that extend the application of Article 10 of the Code of Ethics to discriminatory speech and conduct outside of members’ real estate practices.

NAR’s Federal Advocacy team has been working closely with Congress and the Administration to ensure the interests of REALTORS®, their families, consumers, and the entire real estate industry are protected in any federal action in response to COVID-19.

The news regarding COVID-19 changes daily, and GAR is committed to staying on top of information as it affects the public, our members and our members’ ability to conduct business. This page provides several resources that we have gathered to help you during this unprecedented time.

The National Association of REALTORS® is providing guidance to help REALTORS® respond to COVID-19 – commonly referred to as coronavirus – and its impact on the real estate industry and real estate transactions. Any updates from NAR and its response to the coronavirus emergency will be collected on this page.

While the most publicized physical attacks on real estate agents have involved residential agents, commercial agents are equally at risk. Additionally, it’s important to remember that not all safety and security risks are external.

NAR is scheduling new webinars on REALTOR® Safety throughout the year, presented by safety experts.

The Legal Helpline is a FREE service for Georgia REALTORS® which will help you with questions regarding contract forms, ethics/arbitration, and license law. Additionally, members may inquire about basic legal questions.

As a reminder, the requirements to use the GAR Forms have changed and only REALTORS® members will be allowed to continue using the forms at no cost.
