What designation does a Realtor hold?

A Realtor holds the designation of being a member of the National Association of Realtors (NAR). This designation signifies that an individual is not only licensed as a real estate agent but has also pledged to adhere to the NAR's strict Code of Ethics, which emphasizes professionalism, honesty, and high standards of conduct in the real estate industry. Being a member of the NAR grants access to various resources, educational opportunities, and networking possibilities that can enhance a Realtor’s ability to serve clients effectively.

The other options refer to different roles or memberships that do not apply specifically to the designation of a Realtor. For instance, being a member of a state real estate board does not always equate to being a Realtor, as membership in these boards is often based on having a valid real estate license rather than NAR membership. Similarly, a licensed real estate appraiser and a certified real estate broker indicate different specialties within real estate that do not imply membership in the National Association of Realtors.
