Our Philosophy

1. Our life philosophy is part of our business. We believe that honesty and integrity are the foundation of any successful relationship. No amount of experience or even hard work can replace these attributes.

2. We know that each person is unique and must be treated as an individual. Our clients have specific needs and objectives in buying or selling a home. We spend as much time as necessary listening so that we understand buyer's or seller's personal goal.

3. We know they want someone who is up to speed on real estate technology and can use it well, whether they are selling real estate or buying real estate. The right information and accuracy in handling even the smallest details is crucial in real estate. The best outcome with the minimum of worry and stress is important.

4. We understand that our clients have plenty of choices on where to do business, but they do business with us because of the exceptional service we provide and the value we add to our relationships. This is evidenced from the tremendous number of our clients that refer us to their friends, family members and business associates. read more

National Association of Realtors

The National Association of Realtors (NAR), whose members are known as " Realtors ," is America's largest trade association , representing over 1 million members (as reported in 2006), including NAR's institutes, societies, and councils, involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industries. NAR also functions as a Self Regulatory Organization for real estate brokerage. NAR governs the hundreds of local Multiple Listing Services (MLSs) which are the information exchanges used across the nation by brokers.

NAR's membership is composed of residential and commercial brokers, salespeople, immovable property managers, appraisers, counselors, and others engaged in all aspects of the real estate (immovable property) industry. Members belong to one or more of some 1,600 local associations and boards and 54 state and territory associations of Realtors. They are pledged to a "strict Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice," which includes duties to clients, the public, and other Realtors. Agents and brokers are also licensed by states (see www.arello.org).

The NAR wields substantial power as a lobbying organization on behalf of agents and brokers. In 2005, NAR had the largest Political Action Committee in the country. See [1] for the top 20 PACs.

Through a complicated arrangement, NAR sets the policies for most of the Multiple Listings Services , which are essentially the information exchanges for residential real estate. In 2005, the Department of Justice filed an antitrust lawsuit against NAR alleging its MLS rules were the product of a conspiracy to restrain trade by excluding brokers who used the internet to operate differently. For a description of the DOJ action, see [2] . The MLSs are to residential real estate what NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange are to securities.

Realtor - Colloquialism

Realtor is sometimes used as a colloquialism to describe any person or company involved in the real estate trade, regardless of their NAR status.
