Realtor, MLS, and Equal Opportunity Housing Logos As a REALTOR®, you can use the REALTOR® membership mark to help identify yourself as a member of the National Association of REALTORS®. The term “multiple listing service” refers to the system used by real estate agents to compensate other brokers and to accumulate and share information about properties with each other. Equal Opportunity Housing refers to the idea that all persons should be granted “equal opportunities” when it comes to renting or purchasing real property. This is usually in reference to anti-discrimination policies and laws set forth by state and federal governments.
