For Realtors, By Realtors: Who We Are and What We Do

For more than 100 years, Florida Realtors, the state's largest trade association, has been working to meet the needs of the real estate community and Florida homeowners.

At Florida Realtors, YOUR Success Is Our Business

Membership certainly does have its privileges and benefits at Florida Realtors. We deliver exclusive, no-cost and low-cost tools to grow your business and increase your bottom line. From educational courses to market research, advocacy for homeownership, free legal and tech support, along with news and marketing tips you can use today in your business, we mean it when we say, “Your success is our business!”

In 1916, 68 real estate brokers from 16 Florida communities gathered in Jacksonville for their first convention. That first meeting marked the beginning of a vision and an ongoing mission to serve the Realtors of Florida and the people who make their home in the Sunshine State.

Their goal: to bring order, fairness and professionalism to the real estate business in Florida.

Since that humble beginning, thousands and thousands of Realtors have helped millions of Floridians achieve the American dream of homeownership. 

Florida Realtors® has grown to become the largest professional trade association in the state with more than 238,000 members and the largest Realtor organization in the country. It serves as the statewide organization for 51 local and regional Realtor associations or boards in Florida. Membership is voluntary and consists of both residential and commercial agents and brokers, as well as appraisers, real estate counselors, property managers and many other real estate specialists and related industry affiliates.

Using the term Realtor®

The term Realtor® is an exclusive registered designation for members of the National Association of Realtors®. NAR has about 1.4 million members in the United States. Only those licensed real estate professionals who have joined their respective local Realtor association, Florida Realtors and NAR may use the registered trademark term Realtor. Membership in the Realtor organization usually begins with a local Realtor association or board – through their local association, the Realtor automatically becomes a member of Florida Realtors and NAR.

According to The Associated Press Stylebook, the first “R” in the word “Realtor®” should be capitalized because it is a trademark or service mark reserved exclusively to refer to a member of a local Realtor organization as well as the state and national associations.
