What it means to be a real estate agent
As a real estate professional, laws and regulations set the minimum standards I owe to my clients, customers, and the public. That means that my duties are the same as other practitioners in my industry.
The difference of being an agent and a REALTOR
As a REALTOR, I embrace and I am bound by the duties spelled out in the REALTORS Code of Ethics. In addition to the duties owed to my clients and customers, to the public, and to other REALTORS, I strive for the aspirational goals of the Preamble, knowing that the term REALTOR stands for competency, fairness and integrity.
As a real estate professional I’m required to meet ongoing education requirements to maintain my license. As a REALTOR, I need to be on top of my game and understand issues that affect real estate and share my experience and expertise with other professionals. My clients’ best interest is always my primary goal.
