It makes me proud, yet humbled to be a Realtor. Not just a real estate agent, a Realtor.  It represents an obligation outlines in these 2 paragraphs at the beginning of the Preamble:

"Under all is the land. Upon its wise utilization and widely allocated ownership depend the survival and growth of free institutions and of our civilization. Realtors^® should recognize that the interests of the nation and its citizens require the highest and best use of the land and the widest distribution of land ownership. They require the creation of adequate housing, the building of functioning cities, the development of productive industries and farms, and the preservation of a healthful environment. 

Such interests impose obligations beyond those of ordinary commerce. They impose grave social responsibility and a patriotic duty to which Realtors^® should dedicate themselves, and for which they should be diligent in preparing themselves. Realtors^®, therefore, are zealous to maintain and improve the standards of their calling and share with their fellow Realtors^® a common responsibility for its integrity and honor.

Obligations beyond those of ordinary commerce.  You get more than you expect, in other words.

On this 4th of July weekend, I remind myself and recommit to the patriotic duty of my work.  I am thankful to be able to practice real estate.  Times are tough for many and you might need someone on your side who listens, acts and negotiates in your best interest for positive solutions to your real estate needs.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.  A good rule for any business practice.
