What is a Realtor®?

In England we are known as “Estate Agents”.

In Thailand and USA (and some other countries) the English term “Estate Agent” is often replaced by “Real Estate Broker”.

But what is a Realtor®?

You will have seen the term “Realtor®” used by some real estate professionals when describing themselves or their business.

Are they really a Realtor® in the true sense or do they simply not understand what a Realtor® is?

The term “Realtor®” was created and copyrighted by the National Association of Realtors® (NAR) in the United States of America to elevate agents and brokers.

The only real estate brokers (estate agents) who can call themselves a Realtor® are the ones who are official members of NAR.

When a non-member of NAR refers to himself as a Realtor® is it misrepresentation or just ignorance of the facts?

Robert Watson is a Realtor® and an official member of NAR and always carries his REALTOR® Membership Card for identification purposes …  so he can REALLY be your Realtor®!

Working with a Foreign Buyer in Pattaya Thailand - Detailed Research

Detailed Research
Whether investors or vacation-home buyers (second home buyers), all buyers want detailed information about the properties they plan to purchase.
Because of the distance and the possible unfamiliarity with the Pattaya market, foreign buyers are often at an information disadvantage.
They do not know where to go for information and the possibly lack the local market savvy for judging the validity of information.
Foreign buyers look to the real estate professional as a trusted advisor to fill this knowledge gap.
This means the real estate professional must be prepared to present detailed information in writing.
Rely on Robert Watson who is a Certified International Property Specialist to provide you with the correct detailed information and assist you with your purchase.
