Increase Your Professionalism With NAR’s Commitment to Excellence
The National Association of REALTORS®’ Commitment to Excellence (C2EX) program empowers REALTORS® to evaluate, enhance and showcase their highest levels of professionalism. It’s not a course, class or designation—it’s an endorsement that REALTORS® can promote when serving clients and other REALTORS®. This is a free member benefit to help you be at your best, and it also satisfies your Code of Ethics requirements. Get started at c2ex.realtor.
