Most of you here probably know that word Realtor is a registered collective membership mark that identifies a real estate professional who is a member of NAR. If you are using this word in the domain name you might receive a Cease and Desist Letter from NARs legal department.
Here is what I dont understand why US Patent and Trade Mark Office allows others to register the trademark with the word Realtor within a business name if this name is a registered trade mark. Also I have notices some of the businesses that have registered the name using the word realtor in their own domains with no problems.
Visit US Patent and Trade Mark Office Site and type in "realtor" and you will see many companies with the word:

So can I use the word realtor in the domain ?? Thank you all ahead of time for any help and clarification on this subject.
