I love my job and I love what I do as a REALTOR® and Property Manager.

Part of the REALTOR® organization and profession is an unwritten rule to be proud of who you are and what you do.  There are code of ethics courses that every REALTOR® must take each year along with the continuing education classes.

Recently, I have been showing a lot of buyer’s homes and I often get asked something along the lines of understanding how representation works.  I then discuss my FIDUCIARY DUTIES as a REALTOR® representing the buyer.  Fiduciary what?! Yes, I know, I had to spell check that and it sounds way more difficult than it really is.  They are broken down as this:

  1. Loyalty.
  2. Obedience.
  3. Disclosure.
  4. Confidentiality.
  5. Reasonable Care & Diligence.
  6. Accounting.

Like any job out there, I know that there are some losers that have given our profession a bad name.  But that is why you want to know the difference between a REALTOR® and a real estate agent. We are not all the same, but some of us have a higher caliber and standard of professionalism and we wear the pin to show it.
