REBNY Ethics Courses
All REBNY members are required to complete a mandatory Ethics course specifically tailored for their Membership Division. All Residential Brokerage members are required to complete this course in order to be eligible for access to the RLS and incremental RLS features. Broker A's need to complete the course prior to activating RLS access for their firm. All other Residential Brokerage members must take this course within 90 days of joining REBNY, and existing Residential Brokerage members who have not completed this requirement must complete the course as soon as possible or risk losing RLS access. This REBNY Ethics course is a contingency of REBNY membership, and is NOT the same as the Ethical Business Practices course needed for license renewal.
There are three ways to fulfill the REBNY Ethics course. Please check in your REBNY profile if you have an incomplete Ethics requirement before signing up for any of the following:
Take the monthly live course taught by members of the Residential Board of Directors. This class may count towards 1.5 hours of Continuing Education towards license renewal, depending upon the instructor. Please check the Education Classes schedule for availability.
Take the live course “Rules of the Road: Ethical Business Practices and Co-Brokering in NY State 2.5hrs”. This class is typically offered every 4-6 weeks. Please check the Education Classes schedule for availability.
Take the On-Demand Ethics course. This is for those who need to fulfill their ethics requirement immediately, and should take around 1 hour.
