I was surprised with this information and I think that you will also be surprised about why you can not use "Realtor" combine with any other word related or for the purpose of providing homes, land for sale.
In short :
Realtor is an invented word.
Back in 1916, when C.N. Chadbourn, Chairman of the National Association of Real Estate Boards (precursor of the NAR), declared, “I propose that the National Association adopt a professional title to be conferred upon its members which they shall use to distinguish them from outsiders… the title of ‘realtor’ (accented on the first syllable).” Since distinguishing oneself from “outsiders” is just about the world’s oldest hobby, “realtor” was born.
---- For me now it is clear why should not use that word.
But, to know more, I recommend you read this great article from word-detective.com . here About Realtor
