THE REALTOR® PLEDGE

The REALTOR® Pledge (also known as the REALTOR® Oath) was originally written for a contest held by the National Association of REALTORS® in 1954. The contest was intended to come up with a brief pledge for new members, emphasizing what it meant to be a REALTOR®, based on the Preamble to the Code of Ethics. The winning entry was written by Frank Cortright, a REALTOR® member from Berkeley, California (and, as it happened, the first Executive Vice President of the National Association of Home Builders).

​

The Pledge has been revised only once since 1954. In the mid-1990s, the Pledge's language was modernized somewhat and its structure altered to put emphasis on different points. A version for REALTOR®-Associates was also created at this time. 

​

The revised Pledge features the same six points that were included in the original 1954 version. AEs may choose either version to use in their member induction ceremonies.
