What is a REALTOR®?

A REALTOR® is a licensed real estate agent who is a member of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). The National Association of REALTORS® is a membership organization of over 1.3 million real estate agents in the United States. A licensed real estate agent does not have to be a member of NAR to practice real estate.

Why use a REALTOR®?

When you are looking for help buying or selling property, it's important to remember that the term "real estate agent" and the word "REALTOR®" are not synonymous. REALTORS® can provide an extra level of service, and to be a REALTOR you must be a member of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). The NAR is a non-profit trade organization that promotes high professional standards in real estate information, education and professional standards.

The National Association of REALTORS® also has earned a strong reputation for actively championing private property rights and working to make home ownership affordable and accessible.

Code of Ethics

NAR members adhere to a strict code of ethics founded on the principle of providing fair and hones service to all consumers. REALTOR® business practices are monitored at local board levels. Arbitration and disciplinary systems are in place to address complaints from the public or board members. This local oversight keeps REALTORS® directly accountable to the individual consumers they serve. Real estate licensees who are not REALTORS®, work solely under state/provincial licensing regulations.
