Hope that clears that little point up, one more time.....
Most licensed real estate agents in this country (and Florida is a state in this country so we're talking about Florida too) are NOT Realtors.

Many of them work for brokerage firms that are run by Realtors, but aren't Realtors themselves. Real estate agents are not required to be Realtors.
