professional who sells real estate
A person whose job is to help people buy, sell, or rent houses or other property for money.
Patrón de uso:
[someone] works as a realtor
Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes think 'realtor' means any person who owns or rents property; in fact, it specifically means a professional whose job is to help others buy, sell, or rent property. Many learners also confuse the spelling and pronunciation, writing *realter* or *realator* instead of 'realtor'. In formal writing, 'real estate agent' is often safer because 'Realtor' is a trademark in the U.S.

NAR-member real estate professional
In the U.S., a real estate agent who belongs to the National Association of Realtors and can legally use the name "Realtor."
Patrón de uso:
[someone] is a licensed Realtor
Error frecuente:
Learners often do not realize that in the U.S. 'Realtor' is a trademarked title, not just a common noun; they may use it for any real estate agent in legal or technical writing, which can be inaccurate. Some also forget to capitalize 'Realtor' when it is used in the strict trademark sense.
Sinónimos
NAR member (Highlights membership in the professional organization rather than the job activity itself.)
Antónimos
non-Realtor agent (A real estate agent who is not a member of the National Association of Realtors and may not use the trademarked title.)
