The REALTOR® logo indicates a trained, licenced real estate professional who is a member of organized real estate. A REALTOR® abides by a Code of Ethics in everything they do as she works towards one goal: client satisfaction. Only a REALTOR® can list real estate in the Multiple Listing Service®. The MLS® logo 
confirms the REALTOR® is the source of quality, cooperative and comprehensive real estate information and services.
A REALTOR® provides much more than the resources of MLS®. As your agent, a REALTOR® owes you the duties of utmost care, integrity, confidentiality and loyalty. Whether you are a buyer or seller, you should make sure you discuss "Agency" with your REALTOR®, and the specific services to be provided. A REALTOR® must disclose who they represent in any real estate transaction. A REALTOR® may represent you as a buyer or as a seller, or they may also represent both buyer and seller in the same transaction.
