The term Realtor is a registered trademark. Since its use is not adequately policed by NAR many members of the general public commonly use realtor when referring to any licensed real estate agent. Using realtor when meaning real estate agent is akin to referring to jeans as Levis, soft drinks as cokes, sewing machines as Singers, vacuum cleaners as Hoovers, paper tissue as Kleenex and so on.
