Why Use a REALTOR®?
When you're looking for help buying or selling property, it's important to remember that the
terms "real estate agent" and "REALTOR®" are not synonymous. REALTORS® can provide an
extra level of service, and to be a REALTOR® you must be a member of the National Association
of REALTORS®. The equivalent organization in Canada is the Canadian Real Estate Association.
Both are non-profit trade organizations that promote real estate information, education and
professional standards.
The National Association of REALTORS® also has earned a strong reputation for actively
championing private property rights and working to make home ownership affordable and
accessible.
Code of Ethics
NAR members adhere to a strict code of ethics founded on the principle of providing fair and
honest service to all consumers. REALTOR® business practices are monitored at local board
levels. Arbitration and disciplinary systems are in place to address complaints from the public or
board members.
This local oversight keeps REALTORS® directly accountable to the individual consumers they
serve. Real estate licensees who are not REALTORS®, work solely under state/provincial
licensing regulations.
RE/MAX REALTORS®
RE/MAX real estate agents are required to be REALTORS® as a condition of membership in the
RE/MAX organization. As a percentage of membership, RE/MAX agents hold more REALTOR®
professional designations compared to any other national or international company.
The various designations are a symbol of achieving and maintaining advanced levels of
education in real estate sales and marketing. Look for the REALTOR® or "R" logo when
shopping for real estate assistance, for assurance of ethical standards and commitment to the
community.
Link a RE/MAX agent to that "R" for additional assurance of experience, productivity and
advanced education.
For that extra measure of peace of mind, select Larry Hayes to be your REALTOR®.
