Definition of REALTOR®

The term REALTOR® has one, and only one, meaning:

REALTOR® is a federally registered collective membership mark which identifies a real estate professional who is a member of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® and subscribes to its strict Code of Ethics.

The single most important rule governing the MARK is that it may only be used to convey this meaning, and never used to convey another meaning.
