The prediction included three to six major hurricanes (category 3 or higher) with a 70 percent confidence. While Hurricane Sally would not have been considered a major hurricane by those standards, Alabama's Gulf Coast and the Florida Panhandle are still reeling from its impacts: flooding, downed trees, downed powered lines resulting in widespread power loss, and streets and yards littered with debris.

The terms are often used interchangeably, but the technical distinction between a REALTOR® and real estate agent is important when looking for someone to help guide you through the real estate process.

Real Estate Basics: Why do I need a REALTOR®?
Maybe you're a first-time home buyer just dipping your toes into the real estate market, or maybe you've purchased dozens of properties over the years. Whatever your real estate experience level, an important question to ask yourself is: Do you need a REALTOR®?
The answer is simple: yes. While the average American moves every five years or so, fulltime REALTORS® handle that number of transactions in the span of just weeks or months. Each one of those transactions is different and provides the REALTOR® with valuable information about the market and real estate process, valuable information that could benefit you on your real estate journey.
