Just because you are working with a real estate agent does not mean you are working with a REALTOR®. Not all licensees are equal. Only those licensees that have chosen to join the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® and subscribe to a strict code of ethics are entitled to be called REALTORS®. They are expected to maintain a higher level of knowledge of the buying and selling process and are committed to treating all parties to a transaction honestly.
REALTORS® have a wide variety of information available to them through the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®, which can be very beneficial to the buyer or seller. Not all transactions are equal either and having the ability to keep well informed assists the REALTOR® in navigating each individuals’ experience.
From this point forward, remember to ask if your real estate agent is really a REALTOR®.
