REALTOR or REAL-a-TOR?
How Do You pronounce it?
| It is annoying to hear clients and customers mispronounce the word "REALTOR", but it is even more exasperating to hear our members calling themselves "Real-a-tors" instead of "Realtor" which has only two syllables.
But the mistakes in pronouncing the word are not all. NAR has created an educational video that will help all members use the trademark correctly and legally. Click to See Video |

NAR Interpretations | CASE INTERPRETATIONS
RELATED TO ARTICLE 1OF THE CODE OF ETHICS:
Case #1-3: Net Listing (Originally Case #7-3. Revised May, 1988. Transferred to
Article 1 November, 1994.)
Client A called REALTORŪ B to list a small commercial property, explaining that he wanted to net at least $170,000 from its sale. He inquired about the brokerage commission and other selling costs. REALTORŪ B's response was: "You have indicated that $170,000 net to you from the sale will be satisfactory. Suppose we just leave it at that and take all of the
selling costs from the proceeds of the sale above $170,000." Client A agreed.
The property was sold to Buyer C for $220,000. After settlement, in which it was apparent that $50,000 would go to REALTORŪ B as commission, Client A and Buyer C both complained to the Board of REALTORSŪ about REALTORŪ B's conduct in the matter, and a hearing was scheduled before the Board's Professional Standards Committee.
REALTORŪ B's defense was that he had performed the service that Client A engaged him for precisely in conformance with their agreement. Buyer C had considered the property a good buy at $220,000 and was happy with the transaction until he learned the amount of the commission.
What Did the Hearing Panel Decide?? |
