Karsten Koops of Union Plus GmbH renewed his membership with the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) in 2020, connecting again to a worldwide network of more than one million trusted real estate practitioners. Only members of NAR are properly called REALTORS®, and are identifiable by the REALTOR® “R” logo on their marketing and sales literature.
By joining NAR, Karsten Koops has aligned with the most trusted name in real estate. REALTORS® are required to abide by a strict code of ethics, obligating them to client loyalty; fiduciary (legal) duty to clients; cooperation with competitors; truthfulness in statements and advertising; and non-interference in exclusive relationships that other REALTORS® have with their clients. They are expected to maintain a higher level of knowledge of the process of buying and selling real estate.
Working with a REALTOR® provides buyers and sellers with confidence that their real estate professional is a knowledgeable and trusted advisor. When selecting a real estate professional, it is encouraged that you look for the REALTOR® name.
