Our current NAR President told consumers to call a REALTOR® if you’re considering a home purchase and apparently a lot of buyers have been listening.

“The percentage of consumers surveyed who are more likely to hire a Realtor® than a real estate agent who is not a Realtor® has risen from 51 percent in 1999 (the first year of the survey) to 64 percent in 2006.”
