What is the difference between a realtor and a real estate agent?
None. The two are just common terms for anyone licensed to practice real estate. If you see the word realtor spelled with a capital letter and a trademark symbol, that indicates that the person is a member of the National Association of Realtors. Members must adhere to a strict code of ethics and also may use and access their local association’s MLS. Other common terms for realtors are “real estate salesperson” or “sales associate.” These terms are not very descriptive, since they do not reflect a primary function of the realtor: listing property for sale.
