Real estate agents help other people either buy or sell a property (anything from plots of land to private islands).
If an agent is a member of the National Association of Realtors, he or she can be referred to as a ‘realtor’.
In case a real estate agent decides to become a member of the association, he agrees to always follow a set of ethics guidelines.
If a realtor breaks the code, he can be removed from NAR.
A professional should have an impeccable knowledge of the state’s laws and of the market’s trends; real estate agents can easily set prices for property and usually work in a certain geographical area.
The main aim of a realtor is to either sell or buy the property at the best possible price.
Specialists charge their clients a percentage of the final deal.
