 Hey, what's up? It's Ricky. So you probably clicked on this video because you want to know what the difference in a realtor versus a real estate agent. So today we're going to dive deep into this subject. So a realtor, hold on, who could that be? Give me one second. Oh, hey, are you the homeowner? Yeah, I'm the homeowner. Hey, I'm Ricky Kruth, three max of orange beach. How are you doing today? I'm doing good, man. What can I do for you? I'm just enjoying the day. Isn't it gorgeous out here? Yeah, it is nice. It is nice. So what can I do for you? I got you. Well, look, I don't want to take out too much of your time, but there's a house right down the road that just sold. And I didn't know if there's anything in the world I could do for you today. Look, buddy, I know you're just out here trying to get listings, but I'm trying to do a YouTube video right now. I appreciate your time, but I got to run. Geez. Sorry about that pesky realtor trying to doorknock me into a listing, not today. So let's get into the differences in a realtor versus real estate agent. So for one thing, a realtor wears a suit and a real estate agent judges casual. A realtor wears shoes to work while a real estate agent wears flip flops. A real estate agent works at the office. Yeah, sure. No, no, no, no, no, my seller will never take that. Well, a real estate agent works at the beach. Real estate agent gets most of their business from cold calling. Hey, this is Ricky Caruth with Remax Barnes Beach while a realtor gets most of their business from doorknocking. Realators don't leave voice messages. Nope, not today. Never leave voice emails. That's rule number one. Real estate agents are known for cutting their commission while realtors are known for not cutting their commission. Really? There's another agent that'll do it for 5%. I'm on my way. I'll do it for three and a half and take a half a percent. Realators eat very clean while real estate agents eat very unhealthy. Two double cheese burgers and some french fries and a large Coke. Realators mainly work commercial properties while real estate agents work mostly residential properties. But wait a minute, all of these differences in realtors versus real estate agents sound like it can be anybody. It just sounds like personal preferences to me. It doesn't really sound like there's a line in the sand of what this, what a realtor can do and this, what a real estate agent can do. So what are the real differences in realtor versus real estate agent? I know. Let's ask Google. Google, what is the definition of realtor? Okay. Realtor, a person who acts as an agent for the sale and purchase of buildings and land or a real estate agent. Are you kidding me? So a real estate agent is a realtor and a realtor is a real estate agent? Crazy, right? So that guy in the suit, he can actually wear flip flops with his suit. He doesn't have to cut his commission. Really? You found an agent to do it for five percent? We better go with that agent because I'm not cutting my commission and he can make phone calls on the beach. Real estate agent is a realtor. It's all the same thing. There's no difference. So I know this was a silly video, but I wanted to do something different than I normally do.
