Send us a text Decoding Real Estate: Licenses vs. REALTOR® Membership – What Everyone Should Know Have you ever heard someone mention a "REALTOR® license"? If so, you’re not alone! It’s a common misconception, and it’s time to set the record straight. Spoiler alert: there’s no such thing as a specific REALTOR® license. Even more surprising, only about 52% of licensed real estate agents and brokers in Florida are members of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). This blog post will break down some key differences between a real estate license and REALTOR® membership, clearing up confusion and offering valuable insights for consumers and both new and experienced agents.

Send us a Text Message. The 2024 national lawsuit against the real estate industry is resulting in the removal of a long standing benefit to our American Military Veterans. We find that appalling and discuss our immediate solution to this travesty in this episode. Professional representation has been available to all buyers for decades. It's been paid for by the listing brokerage and wrapped up in the cost of the home that a buyer was purchasing. That equates to the buyer actually paying for all of the commission in their mortgage or in cash when they bring the money to closing.

Real Estate professionals everywhere agree on the value of depersonalizing your property prior to listing it. Have you ever seen staged homes that obviously had the personality of the stager/decorator all over it? Can that actually be counter productive to the sale of your property? What if a potential buyer or your listing agent need to move some of the furniture to show the potential buyer other layout options? Will that "staging company" allow you to do that? These valuable insights and more are included in this episode of the Real Estate Agent Man podcast Learn more here about our FREE HOME STAGING GUARANTEE Katrina Smith is a licensed Florida REALTOR® with RE/MAX Platinum Realty and owner of Little Black Dress Home Staging and Detailing.
