Being a Real Estate Professional

The real estate industry encompasses a wide range of professionals including brokers, team leaders, salespeople, trainers, property managers, appraisers, and more.  Most practitioners concentrate in either the residential or commercial side of the business, though some work in both areas.  It’s important to remember that not all real estate professionals are REALTORS®, a trademarked term which specifically identifies someone as a member of the National Association of REALTORS® who pledges to abide by a strict Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice.
