Technically you’re absolutely correct. Most people however don’t realize the distinction. As a former Realtor, It cost me about $1000 a year to have that “R” on my card. In fairness, I had to pass a national test to qualify along with state test. Also could do referrals all over the country with other Realtors, which Villages sales agents cannot do. I bought my home here using a Villages sales agent. Must admit she did a great job! So, in the end it’s really more about the competency of the person.
