Boise Homes For Sale Explains “What is a Realtor”
Posted by: Trish / Category: Real Estate NewsPeople often ask what is the difference between a “real estate agent” and a “Realtor”. Both are licensed but a realtor belongs to a membership requiring a higher ethical behavior. They pay dues to be a member. Some things to expect from a realtor are: 1. Loyalty to clients, 2. Fiduciary (legal) duties to clients, 3. Cooperation with competitors (other listing agents), and 4. Truthfulness in statements and advertising; and non-interference in exclusive relationships that other Realtors have with their clients. When buying or selling, it is a good idea to look for a Realtor, not just a licensed real estate agent.
