Real Estate Agent vs. Realtor®

A real estate agent is a licensed professional who assists clients in the buying or selling of property within their state. They are required to complete regular mandatory education.

A Realtor® is a real estate agent who is a member of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). Realtors® must follow a strict Code of Ethics and professional standards set by NAR, in addition to state requirements. When choosing to work with a Realtor®, you are making the decision to partner with a professional who will put you first!
