RealtorŪ vs Real Estate Agent What the deal? |
A Realtor® adheres to a strick code of eithics. More training is involved and I believe, that someone with that training and that mindset, someone who goes the extra mile and spends more time and more money getting prepared is better equipped to help you with the most important and costly purchase of your life.
Anyone can be a real estate agent, all they have to do is pass the course and pass the licencing test. I would never say that they were unethical but most are under trained to deal with the workings of a real estate transaction. Finding the home for you to purchase is the easy part. The real work begins when escrow is opened. It then becomes a balancing act that your agent will handle behind the scenes keeping you up to date with every phase. There will be numerous items that will need to be taken care of.
In my humble opinion you are better off working with a Realtor®.
