Boise Homes For Sale Explains “What is a Realtor”

Posted by: Trish / Category: Real Estate News

People 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.
