An Real estate agent works for a Realtor; but the names are commonly transposed.

People use the terms REALTOR® and real estate agent interchangeably, but that is incorrect. There are differences between REALTORS® and real estate agents. They are not the same. Although both are licensed to sell real estate, the basic difference between a real estate agent and a REALTOR® is a REALTOR® is a member of the National Association of REALTORS®. As such, the main difference that you hear a lot about -- but are likely confused about -- is that a REALTOR® must subscribe to the REALTOR® Code of Ethics

Realtor is a trade name for someone who belongs to the National Association of Realtors. You can be a real estate agent without being a Realtor.

Realtor is a copyrighted trade name, and is only assigned to those who are members in good standing of the National Association of Realtors. Not all real estate agents are members of NAR, and are those who are not members are not allowed to call themselves a Realtor.

I think a Realtor belongs to an association of real estate agents and is a licensed real estate agent while a real estate agent is just a licensed real estate agent and dosen't belong to the association. As a realtor they must follow certain guidelines/rules that are provided by the association.

My experience is that as a practical matter for the consumer there is little or no difference. Both REALTORS and real estate agents are very poorly trained and their training is primarily sales training to sell you their overpriced services.Personally when I am in the market to buy or sell real estate I use an attorney who specializes in real estate law and a real estate appraiser who is a Member of The Appraisal Institute.The services that the attorney and the real estate appraiser provide are of much superior quality comapred with REALTORS and real estate agents, and the fees of the attorney and real estate appraiser are much lower than the fees of REALTORS and real estate agents.
