When is a
Real Estate Agent a REALTOR®?
When they are a member of the
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®, The
Voice for Real Estate® -- the world's largest professional
association. The term REALTOR® is a registered collective membership
mark that identifies a real estate professional who is a member of the
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® and subscribes to its strict Code of
Ethics.
Founded in 1908, NAR has grown from its original nucleus of 120 to
today's 1,000,000+ members. NAR is composed of REALTORS® who are
involved in residential and commercial real estate as Brokers (like

government for the purpose of preserving the free enterprise system
and the right to own real property.
