Here is an encore performance of a past show!

One of the more common questions I get is "What is the difference between a real estate agent and a Realtor?". Well, today we will explore the differences and also have a bit of a conversation about whether or not you can get along without one when you buy or sell a home. My opinions on this one tend to upset a whole lot of real estate agents. However, the ones that actually do the job should not be worried!
