Why is it preferable to work with a Realtor than a real estate agent?

At Holand and Associates, all of our agents are Realtors. The difference between the two licensed agents is that Realtors are members of the National Association of Realtors and, thus, must subscribe to the Realtor Code of Ethics. This Code of Ethics regulates the conduct of each Realtor and requires them to meet certain enforced Standards of Practice. What this means for the client is they can be assured that the Realtor will always take actions that are in the best interest of the client. Although we are not stating that Realtors are ethically better than unaffiliated agents, the National Association of Realtors is a governing body that sets behavioral parameters for it agents and is making the effort to regulate the industry.
