How Do You Pronounce Realtor?

"Real-A-Tor"?


I was having a great conversation with another local Realtor/agent the other day, when we paused and noticed how some of the other agents on her team often talked.

We overheard them referring to themselves as Real-a-tors - with 3 syllables. I never noticed before, but all of a sudden as we eavesdropped on their conversations, it seemed more pronounced than ever before!

We continued listening to this conversation to see if anyone would come to our rescue, but it seems this subtle mispronunciation went completely unnoticed... by a bunch of other MN Realtors, no less!

So how IS Realtor pronounced???

In actuality, Realtor is just 2 syllables "Real" and "Tor" (sounds more like "real-ter" or "real-tor") like Doctor sounds like "doc-ter". But I don't think I've ever heard anyone say doc-a-tor before though.

We giggled to ourselves and left the others blissfully-unaware - but wondering when or where this faux paus started? Maybe we'll never know!

But here's the real truth... you heard it here, folks.

Testimonials

I was motivated to begin making smart investments after reading the book Rich Dad Poor Dad. I searched the Internet to see if I could find information from someone around the twin cities that is doing what the Rich Dad books teach. That is when I found Alex Anderson's website. We met at a coffee shop for a very relaxed, easy going, conversation about real estate investing. Her knowledge, friendliness and willingness to help is why I wanted Alex to help me get started with real estate investing.

The main advantage, I found, of working with Alex is that I could call or email her with my questions and she would respond promptly with an answer. Alex took the time to teach me rather than just try to sell to me. I was interested in investing and I wanted to buy a house. Alex explained to me that I could buy a duplex, live in one unit and rent out the other. She owns her own rental property and explained to me how it works though her experience as a real estate investor. Her knowledge and experience gave me the confidence that I can purchase a property and find good tenants to put in it. Now I own a duplex and the tenants pay the majority of my mortgage. Alex made the entire process work very smoothly.
