Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I've been a Realtor for the past 20 years, so this article is very relevant to my interests. My preliminary impression was that it was informative, but could use some fine tuning (hence the disclaimers at the top of the page).

Evaluate the article
The lead section appears to be thorough in it's description. The content is informative, but is disjointed in sections. For example, the "Licensing" section and "Education" section are separated; and, ideally, "Education" should be a sub-section of "Licensing" The tone is from a neutral point of view, but the article is not balanced with regards to the types of agency relationships (this could be expanded upon). Most of the cited sources are not scholarly, but several are from either the National Association of Realtors (a professional organization for real estate professionals) or from individual states' governing body for real estate professionals. The organization of the article could be better, and there are a few grammatical errors (specifically, the word "Realtor" should be spelled with a capital R). There aren't any images on the article, but it would be appropriate to include an image of the trademarked Realtor icon, which is a white, block-letter capital R inside a dark-colored square. Only Realtors (members of the National Association of Realtors) have the rights to use it. The article is of interest to currently 4 different WikiProjects. There is very little Talk going on behind the scenes. Most of it appears to be semantics. This article is currently underdeveloped but has the potential to be a featured article with several improvements.
