Although the term Realtor is used interchangebly with real estate agent, it is reserved for the sole use of active members of NAR. It IS legal in the U.S. to sell real estate without being a Realtor.
As a trademark, the term should always be capitalized, as compared to once-trademarked terms such as "aspirin" which have entered the public domain and are no longer protected by trademark status.
