Real Estate Agent and Realtor, Aren’t They The Same Thing?
March 27th, 2008 Categories: Buying, Keller Williams, Selling
NO! A common misconception is that these two terms mean the same thing for those of us in the real estate profession. In reality, they actually mean:
Real Estate Agent: A licensed individual that may represent either the buyer or the seller in a real estate transaction. The agent is supposed to look after the best interest of their consumer
Realtor:A licensed individual that is also a member of the National Association of Realtors, a trade association that acts on behalf of the nation’s real estate sales force. Membership is voluntary, but only those who are members may call themselves Realtors. Members must abide by a strict Code of Ethics, in order to maintain their membership. When looking for a REALTOR, make sure you look for the trademark “R” shown above!
