When Is a Real Estate Agent a REALTOR®?
DID YOU KNOW? Two out of three real estate sales agents are NOT Realtors®. A
real estate agent is ONLY a REALTOR® when they become a member
of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®, The Voice for Real Estate®,
the world's largest professional association. The term "REALTOR®" is
a registered collective membership mark that identifies a real estate professional
who is a member of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® and abides by
its strict Code
