        That’s the only that surprised me, and it’s still protected? How does that one work?

          The National Association of Realtors is pretty consistent at insisting anyone not associated with them is a real estate agent not a Realtor.

            Really … that is interesting. I don’t know anyone not in the business that 1) knows this and 2) cares.

              I’m not in the business. I’ve bought a house but other than that, don’t have any dealings with real estate agents. I don’t really care. But they do, so it’s kinda plastered anywhere Realtor is used (all kinds of marks after the name) and I even vaguely remember TV ads about realtors being better than real estate agents or something.
