When looking to buy, do I have to work with the company who has the property listed? (You can work with whichever real estate agent you want. It does not have to be the listing agent or the listing company. CENTURY 21 Boardwalk can show you any listing in the State of Michigan. It's best to choose a Realtor, who is dedicated to the business full-time, someone who is honest and trustworthy, an excellent negotiator, available by phone or email, a good communicator and friendly ... especially someone who you feel comfortable with. When you have found this person, enter their telephone number into your phone and call them whenever you have any questions on any property.)

What is the difference between a real estate agent and a Realtor? (People use the terms REALTOR® and real estate agent interchangeably, but that is incorrect. There are differences between REALTORS® and real estate agents. They are not the same. Although both are licensed to sell real estate, the basic difference between a real estate agent and a REALTOR® is a REALTOR® is a member of the National Association of REALTORS®. As such, the main difference that you hear a lot about is that a REALTOR® must subscribe to the REALTOR® Code of Ethics.)
