Why Use A Colorado REALTOR®?

Not every real estate agent or broker is a REALTOR®. That term and the familiar Block "R" logo are
trademarked by the National Association of REALTORS® and can only be used by those are REALTOR®
members through their local association of REALTORS®.

While all REALTORS® are state-issued licensees as agents or brokers, the major difference between a "real estate licensee" and a REALTOR® is that REALTORS® have taken an oath to subscribe to a stringent, enforceable Code of Ethics with Standards of Practice that promote the fair, ethical and honest treatment of all parties in a transaction. Non-member licensees have taken no such oath and are not morally bound to the ethical practices and principles set for in the REALTOR® Code.

For that extra measure of peace of mind, ensure the individual seeking to represent you is both a real estate licensee and a REALTOR®.

I am amazed how some people will get a real estate license and to save a couple of bucks not join the Board or the MLS system.

Ray, the local Realtor boards all make it a point to make a statement about this difference at all of the meetings that I have attended, and it is also important for the public to know it as well.

Randy true and some of them they do not want to becomre realtors, they are loosing more chances.

George, yes, so people must learn and differentiate from a real estate agent without be a Realtor, many people just think that a Real Estate Agent is a Realtor and they are confused.
