Only a REALTOR® is bound to a strict Code of Ethics, which is required training. The public is being educated through an extensive national campaign on what a REALTOR® is, through national primetime TV, radio ads, and print ads in newspapers and magazines across the country.

Education

Only a REALTOR® can hold a National Association of REALTORS® Professional Designation, which give you more credibility in the marketplace by ensuring clients of your competency and earning you nationwide recognition as an expert in your field. This all translates to increased profitability.

Designations are earned through many of the Continuing Education Classes that are offered at the WCAOR office. Once you are a member, you are eligible to attend these classes at a discounted rate.
