What Is A REALTOR^® ?
A real estate licensee is not automatically a REALTOR ^®. A licensed real estate agent is only a REALTOR ^® if the agent belongs to the National Association of REALTORS ^®, 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 subscribes to its strict Code of Ethics.
