Misconception #4: “The word
‘Realtor’ is synonymous with Real Estate Agent …”
Fact: The term “Realtor” is actually a
registered trademark and the professional designation reserved
for members of the National Association of Realtors who subscribe
to a very high standard and code of ethics (and knowledge base),
and are trained to assist clients through every step of a real
estate transaction – including the myriad liability, insurance,
financial, and related issues that beset today’s transactions.
Out of the active real estate agents in Nevada County only 60%
are Realtors.
The best Realtors can actually make one’s real
estate experience enjoyable.
