Not all real estate licensees are REALTORS®.
Only those licensees who belong to the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), through their local and state associations, and who subscribe to a strict Code of Ethics, are REALTORS® and can proudly display the REALTOR “®” logo in their marketing materials. REALTORS® are committed to treat all parties to a transaction honestly.
To ensure that all REALTORS® are informed about the Code, its various Standards of Practice, and any changes to it, NAR requires all members to take updated training every few years. REALTORS® also must uphold the standards of the association to maintain membership.
Your home will likely be one of your most expensive purchases and largest investments that you’ll make — trust an expert — trust a REALTOR®.
