What is a REALTOR®?“Real Estate Agent” is a generic term that can be used by anyone with a license to sell real estate.
However, not everyone who sells real estate can call himself or herself a REALTOR®.
REALTORS® are real estate professionals who are members of the National, state
and local boards of REALTORS®, adhering to a strict Code of Ethics. REALTORS®
encourage high professional standards through required educational programs, professional
certifications, and principals of real estate sales practices.
“The single most outstanding characteristic that sets REALTORS® apart from other

to reflect current developments in the professional real estate practice. The
term REALTOR® has come to represent competency, fairness and high integrity. These

enforce the Code of Ethics and to direct special attention to REALTORS® who pledge
to protect the individual right of real estate ownership; to be honorable and
honest in all dealings; to better represent clients by building knowledge and
competence; to act fairly towards all in the spirit of the Golden Rule; and to
serve the community.

information enables participating REALTOR® members to more effectively assist
customers and clients to buy and sell property.
