What is the difference between a realtor and a real estate agent in Kelowna?

In BC, all active real estate agents must be licensed by the BC Financial Services Authority. The term realtor refers to agents who are also members of the Canadian Real Estate Association and a local board like the Association of Interior Realtors, which provides MLS access and requires a code of ethics. For how to check credentials, see how to verify an agent is licensed in BC.

For most buyers and sellers in Kelowna, the practical difference between a realtor and a licensed agent is minor. What matters more is the agent's local track record in the Okanagan market, their knowledge of the property types you are targeting, and their communication skills. Focus on those qualities above all. Find a real estate agent in Kelowna with the right experience.
