The Difference Between a Realtor and a real estate agent

It is very important to distinguish when you are in the market for your first home and are discovering who to work with, that not all real esate agents are Realtors. Realtors only, abide to a code of ethics that is governed by a board of directors. Realtors pay an annual fee to be a part of a Realtor Association in the community that they serve in. In my experience, I've seen that Realtors tend to be much more involved in the communities that they serve in. They also tend to be more integris and honest because of the code of ethics which they abide to. Because of this, they tend to have a better reputation in the Realtor community. This is important for a new homeowner in a competitive market because it will help your offer stand out in the midst of competing offers if you have a Realtor on your side with a good standing reputation. They also tend to be more committed to their business and their clients and most of them work Full Time! Realtors tend to be the most productive real esate agents and top producers because their mission is to win clients for life and not just sell houses and move on to the next one. Most people don't have any idea about the difference between a real estate agent and a Realtor. I hope this post helps you make a great decision on who to work with.
