We are Realtors First - REALTOR is an individual that is licensed to list and sell real estate and is also a member of a local Multi Listing Service Board of REALTORS; State Association of REALTORS and the National Association of REALTORS-unlike real estate agents who are simply licensed by their state to do business. As a member of these three professional trade associations, a REALTOR agrees to adhere to a strict Code of Ethics, the canons of professional behavior that guide activities in the real estate business. NOTE: ONLY those real estate licensees who hold membership in these Associations and who subscribe to its strict Code of Ethics are permitted to use the register trade mark of REALTOR.
