Realtors have different a different set of requirements than licensed real estate agents.

Why do folks who have little or no knowledge, insist on posting about subjects they know little or nothing about?
There is no such thing as a "REALTOR®" license. A REALTOR® is simple a Broker, who joins the National Association of Realtors and agrees to adhere to their ethical requirements ... and pays their fees every year.
There is no way to be a REALTOR®, without belonging to the Association and paying dues.
In most states, there are two levels of Real Estate "professionals". Sales People and Brokers. There are no states that offer a License as a "Realtor" ... that's a made up word, by the Nation Association of Realtors.
Think of them as the difference between a Master Plumber and a Journeyman Plumber. The Journeyman can do most every job the Master can do, but he can't have any employees working under him. A Real Estate Salesperson can do most anything a Broker can do, but must work under the auspices of a Broker.
In most states, a non-licensed person can work directly for a Developer or Home Builder, selling homes or property.
