Only REALTORS® and REALTOR-ASSOCIATES® are subject to the Code of Ethics of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). If the real estate licensee you are dealing with is not a REALTOR®, your options will include contacting the Oklahoma Real Estate Commission (OREC) at 405.521.3387.
Ethics Enforcement
REALTOR® associations are responsible for enforcing the National Association of REALTORS® Code of Ethics.
NOTE: If you have questions about filing a Code of Ethics complaint, please contact OAR Professional Standards Administrator Sabrina Tyree via email or by calling 405.250.7846.
Who do you call about a licensing or regulatory complaint?
The Oklahoma Association of REALTORS® often receives questions related to filing a complaint with the Oklahoma Real Estate Commission (OREC), Oklahoma real estate laws and regulations, licensure, annual continuing education requirements for licensees and questions about OREC forms and contracts.
The OREC frequently receives questions that should be directed to the Oklahoma Association of REALTORS® such as “What is the REALTOR® Code of Ethics,” and “How do I file an ethics complaint?”
To help consumers better understand the roles of each group, the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) has collaborated with the Association of Real Estate License Law Officials (ARELLO) to create a document explaining the difference between a REALTOR® association and a real estate commission.
