NC REALTORS®, representing over 50,000 REALTORS® who reside in diverse communities across North Carolina, embodies our REALTOR® Code of Ethics, the governing document which protects the housing rights of all people, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity. We embrace equality and inclusivity, honoring individuals and respecting differing perspectives to reach common goals for the betterment of all. Racism and discrimination have no home in North Carolina.

Adopted by the NC REALTORS® Board of Directors on October 15, 2020

REALTORS® subscribe to a Code of Ethics that sets a higher standard for fairness in housing than any federal law. Have you experienced the impacts of diversity or lack of diversity in your community or profession? How are you making a difference in your business and community? Share your story!

Our world is growing increasingly diverse and every year is filled with an abundance of holidays celebrating various dimensions of diversity. Knowledge of diversity holidays can enhance your work and promotion of diversity and inclusion initiatives. Below is a great resource and calendar from The Diversity Movement.

2023 Calendar

The goal of the Diversity Committee is to promote REALTOR® voices in an inclusionary manner that reflects its members, local communities, and statewide diversity opportunities and initiatives. Meet some of the members of NC REALTORS® Diversity Committee and find out why diversity is important to them.

On October 8, 2019, hundreds of NC REALTORS® came together to have a candid conversation on diversity – what it means, why it’s vital to the economy in North Carolina and how it applies to the way we do business.

Several of our very own NC REALTORS® even took the hot seat to talk about how diversity and inclusion impacted them and their business:

• Asa Fleming, 2019 President, NC REALTORS®
• Brenda Hayden, 2019 President, Charlotte Regional REALTOR® Association
• Anthony Lindsey, Coldwell Banker, Charlotte
• Wendell Bullard, Bullard Properties, LLC, Durham
• Sandra O’Connor, Allen Tate Green Valley, Greensboro
