Realtor's Ethics Requirement is NOT the same as Maryland Real Estate Commission Ethics requirement

 Realtor Ethics requirement only applies to Members of the Realtor Association.  ( required by 12-31-2004)

 IF you are not a Realtor Association member, You are not required to take the Realtor Ethics Class.

Maryland  Real Estate Commission Ethics requirement applies to ALL licensees.    starting with renewals after 10-1-2005

House Bill 1249 (2004 Legislative Session) changed continuing education requirements under Title 17-315.

One of those changes requires a licensee to complete "at least one 3 clock hour ethics course

that includes Maryland Code of Ethics and a discussion of the practices of flipping and predatory lending" every two years.

How does this change apply to you?

If your license expires on or before October 1, 2005, you ARE NOT required to complete this specific ethics course

If your license expires after October 1, 2005, you ARE required to complete this specific ethics course.
