As we wind down the year and start planning for the next, we’re looking at new ways to enhance the member experience through updated processes and efficiencies. Starting on Monday, December 19, 2022, BRR will move our new member application to a mobile friendly, online format. Gone are the days of outdated PDFs and broken links — our new online application will welcome members with a process that is easy and seamless.
Additionally, effective Monday, December 19, 2022, new members will be required to complete NAR’s Code of Ethics for new members and NAR’s Fairhaven training simulation PRIOR to activation as a REALTOR® member. Both courses are online and should only take a few hours to complete.
This requirement achieves several goals for us as an association:
- Ensures that our newest members complete their required ethics training, checking that item off their list for the current ethics compliance cycle and elevating their knowledge of the Code of Ethics as they begin their career.
- Completion of the Fairhaven training simulation equips new agents with essential fair housing knowledge so that they can approach their first transaction without any unintentional discrimination. It also helps us meet required diversity and inclusion training to meet CORE Standards and maintain our association’s charter with the National Association of REALTORS®.
We highly encourage all of our REALTOR® members to complete the Fairhaven simulation, if they haven’t already done so. Not only is it informative, but it’s a fun way to learn about fair housing. Please reach out to our Membership team with any questions by calling 208-376-0363.
