Isn t Realtor, just another word for Real Estate Agent?
A. Absolutely not. Realtor is the official designation for a national organization of Real Estate Agents who have gone beyond the basic training required by the state. Realtors take additional classes in ethics and training to maintain their designation. Realtors belong to Boards of Realtors, which are the local governing body for the National Organization. Realtors cooperate in transactions with other Realtors twice as often as independent agents cooperate with each other. And, the Realtors Code of Ethics holds us to a higher standard of practice than Non-Realtor agents.
