Realator →
National Association of Realtors Apparently a redirection of a misspelling of "Realtor" to the article on Realtors; but it's not a common misspelling, and the article doesn't mention "Realator," so it's more confusing than helpful. Also, Googling "realator" turns up some (correctly spelled) brand names unrelated to
real estate. --

- Keep. It's a plausible misspelling, given that there's a common (mis?)pronunciation that sounds like "realator". -- Trovatore 00:39, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
- Holy smoke! Yahho shows about 238,000 matches for "realator". Definite keep, I think. Noel (talk) 14:48, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
My impression is that realator (and realitor) are "public domain" terms for "real-estate agent", and not necessarily simply misspellings of Realtor (TM).
