professional who sells real estate
A person whose job is to help people buy, sell, or rent houses or other property for money.
Padrão de uso:
[someone] works as a realtor
Erro comum:
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.
Sinónimos
real estate agent (Most common neutral equivalent; often used interchangeably with little or no difference in everyday speech.)
|
real estate broker (Similar role but can suggest higher qualification or someone who runs a real estate office, depending on local law.)
Antónimos

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."
Padrão de uso:
[someone] is a licensed Realtor
Erro comum:
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.)
