All Agents Are Not Created Equally |

The term REALTOR® doesn't just refer to anyone helping people to buy or sell homes. It is a trademark, registered with the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) , and can only be used to describe members of the NAR who have gone through accredited REALTOR® training. If you are looking for someone to represent you as a buyer or seller, you need to understand what sets a REALTOR® apart. |

Membership in the NAR requires one to agree to the association's standard of business ethics, based on honesty and professionalism. They demand mandatory regular code of ethics training seminars. The NAR and its nine affiliated groups also promote professional development by offering a wide variety of training programs, courses and services that help their members keep up-to-date on any important changes or trends, and to increase their training in various specialized aspects of the real estate market.
While there are other real estate training programs, the NAR is a nationally recognized and highly professional institution. If you hire someone who isn't a member, you should wonder why not.
Buying and selling real estate is a complex process. For most people, their home is the biggest investment they will make in their lifetime. Would you give half a million dollars to a street dealer? Of course not. Similarly, you should trust your real estate transactions only to accredited professionals. The backing of the NAR is like a guarantee that you are getting quality representation. It is like an insurance package for the real estate transaction process, because it protects you from foolish mistakes that could cost you a lot of money.
To avoid an unfortunate loss and to have a stress-free experience buying or selling real estate, take my advice and work with a professional. Look for a REALTOR®, not just a realtor. There's a big difference.
