A REALTOR® is a real estate licensee that is member of the National Association of REALTORS® and adheres to the NAR Code of Ethics. REALTORS® are called to a higher standard of practice and are committed to treating all parties in a transaction with fair and honest service.

A real estate transaction is one of the largest financial investments a person usually experiences in their lifetime. A normal real estate transaction averages over $100,000. Would you handle a $100,000 tax problem without the advice of a CPA? Would you consider managing a $100,000 legal issue without the help of an attorney? Considering the small cost of a REALTOR®, and the large risk of handling a transaction on your own, it seems to be wise to seek the professional advice of a REALTOR®.
