realtor

Home sales agent

A realtor is a real estate agent—someone licensed to help people buy, sell, or rent property.

The term is technically a trademark for members of the National Association of Realtors, but it's widely used as a generic term for any real estate professional: Our realtor found us a great house in our price range.
