So now you’re flagging my posts, then responding to them? You are the one confused by facts. The Realtor term is a trademark, it’s not a copyright issue. Being a realtor is like calling the box of Winco-brand tissues a box of kleenex; it’s not accurate, capitalized or not. If a real estate agent calls himself a realtor when he’s not a Realtor, or if Winco advertises its store-brand kleenex on sale, they’re going to get a letter from a lawyer.

Anyway, despite your crazy assertions, your friend Rick is a member of the Commercial Association of Realtors and is therefore a Realtor.
