And what's up with the oh-too-common use in these
(central NY) parts of the 'word' realator?
Members of the National Association of Realtors call
themselves Realtors. Many people commonly misuse that
term (to the occasional displeasure of NAR members) to
refer to any member of the real estate-selling community,
such as it is.
But hereabouts, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone
NOT saying realator -- even, oddly, members of the NAR!!

New Jersian whose name describe the high-pitched voice
section of the choir...
