Nearly eight out of ten consumers believe real estate brokers and sales associates can show buyers a better selection of homes than they can find on their own, according to an independent survey of the general public released by the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®. Seventy-eight percent of the general public believe real estate professionals offer them a broader selection of housing alternatives than they would otherwise find. Seventy-four percent agree that using a real estate broker saves time, and 70 percent agree that real estate professionals make buying or selling a home much easier.

While there are plenty of real estate professionals to choose from, the best bet in terms of ethical, efficient and reliable service, is a REALTOR®.. Nearly 730,000 of the 1.2 million active real estate licensees nation-wide belong to NAR, entitling them to use our registered mark, REALTOR®. after their name. Unlike many real estate practitioners who are simply licensed by their state to do business, REALTORS® have taken additional steps to become members of the local board of REALTORS® and have agreed to act under and adhere to a strict Code of Ethics. This membership obligates them to be honest with all parties involved in a transaction, be it buyer, seller or cooperating agent.
