Dude played for the White Sox Amateur City Elite program and is a Simeon alum. Brewers picked him at #5 in 2016. It seems like yesterday he was bandied as a possible Sox selection in that 2016 draft. Boy, did the talent suck that year. The Dodgers' 1st round pick at #32, Will Smith (23.0 bWAR) is the only player from the 1st round to clear 10 bWAR. The Sox picked future Realtor Zack Collins at #10.

Realtor is a trademarked name. A Realtor is a member of the National Association of Realtors. It gets capitalized. 

Then it should have "certified” in front.

Are you sure that Collins has this designation?

It's funny, I can't say I was a Teacher with two Master's degrees. Need to have a PhD as well. But still not Teacher, then it's Dr.

Lawyers have seven years of education and have Juris Doctor degrees on their diplomas but are not Doctors somehow, either.

Or financial planners, lol. CFRE or whatever that designation is.  Yet CPA's are not Accountants either.

Guessing someone in your family was/is a "Realtor"

 

 

Q: Why is “realtor” often capitalized? It drives me crazy. It’s just a job description, like “chef” or “dog catcher.” What’s so special about realtors?

A: The term is often capitalized because it’s a registered trademark in the US for a member of the National Association of Realtors.

Most standard dictionaries capitalize the term, including the online Merriam-Webster and American Heritage dictionaries. One notable exception is Oxford Dictionaries online, which lowercases the term in its US version.

The Associated Press Stylebook capitalizes “Realtor,” but recommends using “real estate agent” instead unless “there is a reason to indicate that the individual is a member” of the association.

However, the Oxford English Dictionary, an etymological dictionary based on historical evidence, lowercases “realtor".

I was a Realtor. It gets capitalized to denote that one adheres to their code of ethics and more importantly, pays dues to the NAR. They don't need to add "certified" in front. "Realtor" is what it is. 

I don't understand your CPA comment. They are accountants. It's right there in their designation - Certified Public Accountant.

There are lots of accountants that still exist in the world without being CPA's.
