About Realtors

Not every real estate agent is a REALTOR®.

Only real estate professionals who are members of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (NAR) can call themselves REALTORS®. The NAR is America's largest professional association, over one million strong, and involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industries. As a REALTOR® we pledge to abide by the NAR's strict Code of Ethics, which is based on professionalism and protection of the public. REALTORS® are held accountable for their ethical behavior.
