The REALTOR® Difference
Not every real estate agent is a REALTOR®. Only REALTORS® are members of CREA.
Why a REALTOR®?
Maybe you’re buying a home for the first time. Maybe you’re selling your home to move onto something new. Whether you’re buying or selling, you’re involved in an intricate process requiring many specialists.
One of these specialists should be a REALTOR®, who’s responsible for making the transaction as easy as possible for you. Not every licensed or registered broker or salesperson is a REALTOR®. To be a REALTOR®, the agent must be a member of the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) and adhere to its strict standards and REALTOR® Code of Ethics.
REALTORS® are expected to:
Be committed to the REALTOR® Code
The code outlines the accepted standard of conduct for all real estate practitioners who are REALTORS®.

Be actively updating their education
