What Is the Difference Between a Real Estate Agent and a REALTOR®?

Many people think that real estate agents and REALTORS® are the same. While these terms are almost interchangeable, there is one key difference. Real estate agents can only call themselves REALTORS® if they are active members of the National Association of Realtors (NAR). REALTORS® are bound to the NAR’s code of ethics.
