What is a Realtor®?

Not all Real Estate Agents are REALTORS®

The term REALTOR® is a registered collective membership mark that identifies a real estate professional who is a member of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® and subscribes to its strict Code of Ethics.

REALTORS® are pledged to a strict Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice. Working for America's property owners, the National Association provides a facility for professional development, research and exchange of information among its members and to the public and government for the purpose of preserving the free enterprise system and the right to own real property.

"We have had Parvin as our realtor for both the purchase and sale of our homes. We are extremely happy with the way she preformed her work and would gladly refer her to our friends. She does a very thorough job in marketing the house and helped right through the closing date and after. Even now I call her now and then to answer some of my queries and she is very helpful and we have maintained a very good relationship and if we had to move again I would definitely like her to be our realtor again."
