difference between broker and realtor
A REALTORÂ® can be a real estate broker or a real estate agent. It is a title that means the individual belongs to the National Association of REALTORSÂ® (NAR), subscribes to its extensive Code of Ethics and pays annual dues. Not every real estate agent belongs to NAR.
Listing agents are also known as seller's agents because they represent the seller. A listing agent can be a real estate broker or a real estate agent. These types of agents owe a fiduciary responsibility to the seller under a listing agreement and must protect that interest.
