Are all real estate agents REALTORS® |

NO. Not all real-estate agents can be called or may use the title REALTOR®
While all REALTORS® are government-licensed brokers, majority of the non-REALTOR real estate agents in the Philippines are not.
Another major difference between them is that the REALTORS® have taken an oath to abide by the stringent, enforceable REALTOR® Code of Ethics with Standards of Practice that promote the fair, ethical and honest treatment of all parties in a transaction. Non-REALTORS® take no such oath and are not morally bound to protect their clients and co-brokers from fraud, misrepresentation and other unethical practices that proliferate in the industry.*
