What REALTORS® Do for You

Buying or selling a property is a major financial milestone. REALTORS® provide the guidance and expertise you need to navigate each step, from setting the right price to completing legal requirements, ensuring you get the best value whether you're buying or selling.

Owning real estate is one of the main ways many Americans build wealth and secure their financial future. Working with a REALTOR® when buying or selling property helps protect and grow that investment right from the start.

The REALTOR® mark identifies someone who’s earned the right to call themselves a REALTOR® and is held to a higher standard than someone who’s solely a real estate practitioner. When you see the capitalized word REALTOR® (with the ® mark), it signifies a professional who adheres to a strict Code of Ethics that protects clients, the public, and other real estate agents. 

A REALTOR® is a member of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), the largest trade association in the United States. LIBOR members are members of NAR and, therefore, our members are proud to identify themselves as REALTORS®.
