Is your real estate agent a Realtor?

When a real estate licensee ~ salesperson or broker joins a local board of Realtors they must also join California Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors. Only then can they call themselves a Realtor!

If your agent does not belong to all 3 associations they are technically a “real estate licensee” not a Realtor.

Here’s a little pet peeve of mine…..we are not Real-la-tors. We are Real-tors. There is no -la- in Realtor and if you can’t properly pronouce your own profession….well then in my opinion you don’t deserve to be one.  If you can’t pay attention to the detail of properly pronouncing your own profession what other details are you going to miss in ohhhh something huge like a CONTRACT!
