DESCRIPTION: Both Ethics and Orientation are REQUIRED courses for all new members! The National Association of REALTORS® established the Code of Ethics to assure the public, other REALTORS® and your customers/ clients that their Real Estate needs would be handled professionally and to allow recourse when they are not. At the end of this class, you will have a complete understanding of all 17 Articles of the Code of Ethics and recognize how the Code is enforced through the Professional Standards process.

INSTRUCTOR: Tod Franklin
Being born and raised in Colorado, I began my real estate practice in Northern Colorado in 1991 and never looked back. My experience within this industry has expanded my business range from Denver to the Wyoming Borders, from multi-million dollar properties to rural acreages to investment condo’s. Practicing real estate has also lead me down pathways where I have achieved Top Producer status, managed for Coldwell Banker, and became very involved with training and education of realtors. The quality education services I provide allow insights into a variety of the aspects of the real estate business, also teaching techniques to provide excellent customer service to the consumer. The 21 years I have been in this market has given untold knowledge, passion for this industry, and a sphere of influence over the Front Range.
