More than 2 million people in the United States have earned real
estate licenses. However, real estate is a tough business with a steep
dropout rate, and the result is that only a small percentage of those
with licenses actively help buyers and sellers.
The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) includes 1 million
brokers and salespeople, individuals bound together with a strong
Code of Ethics, extensive training opportunities and a wealth of community
information. NAR members are routinely active in PTAs, local government
committees and a variety of neighborhood organizations. Being actively
involved in community affairs provides REALTORS® with a better
understanding of the area in which they are selling.
Why? Buying and selling real estate is a complex matter.
At first it might seem that by checking local picture books or online
sites you could quickly find the right home at the right price.
But a basic rule in real estate is that all properties
are unique. No two properties, even two identical models on the same
street, are precisely and exactly alike. Homes differ and so do contract
terms, financing options, inspection requirements and closing costs,
no two transactions are alike. In this maze of forms, financing, inspections,
marketing, pricing and negotiating, it makes sense to work with professionals
who know the community and Real Estate.

professionals, your REALTORS®, ready to deliver the service you
