Term Tuesday: REALTOR®

A real estate agent becomes a REALTOR® by joining the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®, also known as NAR. What's the difference? NAR members agree to abide by a Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice beyond what is expected of a real estate agent and agree to "treat all parties to a transaction honestly" and maintain a "higher level of knowledge of the buying and selling process." All agents at CENTURY 21 Award are required to be a member of NAR.
