It depends on where you live. Funny enough tim had a line about this in justified.

LOL Was just about to post the same.
shareEven here in Oklahoma it's pronounced real-tor. We have a vanity plate for the association, and the radio commercials even pronounce it correctly.
shareI came here for this same reason. I can live with the rest of the whole zombie deal... Killing and eating people, toes falling off, but I can't believe there's no one there who can actually speak up before filming one day and say, "Excuse me; I know I'm just a props manager, but I do know that the word is pronounced RE-AL-TOR, not REAL-A-TOR. Just FYI." They're all intelligent people. How do they not know this? It's like when a politician says "nucular" instead of "nuclear." If you can't pronounce it, you shouldn't be around it.
Screw you, IMDb, for shutting down the boards.
Oh please. Almost everyone I know puts an "a" in it, REAL-TOR just has a hideous sound to it. When my family was looking for a place in Ohio our realtor introduced herself by saying "I'm the real-a-tor" so I'm pretty sure the only people who even care are ones with sticks up their butt.

"No! He is imprinted on you like a gay duckling. If you don't wean him off you slowly, he'll die."
....or people who know how to pronounce words correctly. Illitercy and bad diction are not things to be proud of.
shareIt's not like tomato or tomatoe.... it's like realator and nuculur. One is an alternate pronunciation and the other is freakin' wrong and irks some people that pronounce words properly. No stick here!
shareI have no stick up my butt. I do, however, believe that it is absolutely absurd for someone not to be able to pronounce their own job title. And if "Realator" was an alternate title, there would be an alternate word. Just like "grabbage man" vs "garbage man" or "low crab diet" vs "low carb diet."
Let's say my name is Susan. It's my name. I can pronounce it any way I want. Susan. Soooooosan. Suzaaaaaaan. Roy. No matter where I live, only one of those isn't going to make me look stupid, and it's not Roy.
BTW, my son-in-law is from Ohio, and he says "Realtor" quite clearly and correctly, so I'm thinking you're BSing us a bit.
Thank you! Hug your son for not looking like a fool to his clients by saying real-uh-tor, too! There was one character (I binge-watched last night) toward the end of the episodes that properly pronounced it. I think it may have been the drug dealer guy?
shareI think Andy Richter pronounced it correctly in episode 1. :-)
shareNo stick here. It just's ridiculous that two people can't prounounce their own job titles. Sorry you have to live around people that can't properly pronounce words. When I meet someone and they say "suppose-ably", "flustrated" or "Valen-tyme" (among other words)I automatically deem them sub-intelligent.

Forrest Gump didn't pronounce his name properly and he was a genius.
shareI have to say I think "flustrated" is cute. Never heard anyone say it, but I wouldn't mind at all if it became a real word to describe a state that's a combination of frustrated and flustered.
shareThank you! I literally paused the show to come on here and see if that was bugging anyone else. I would lose confidence in any realtor who referred to themself as a real-a-tor.
I can't stand "supposably" either and lately keep hearing "expecially".
I enjoy the show so far and will keep watching, but that does make me cringe when they say it.
It's one of those things that could turn into a Drinking Game....LOL~
Just because an opinion doesn't align with yours, DOES NOT MEAN IT IS WRONG..inspired by the haters~
YES! I was saying the same thing to my husband. It's irksome in general, but when it's supposed to be your profession, there's really no excuse for mispronouncing it!
shareI think this is a reference to Justified, which Timothy Olyphant was on. His ex-wife new husband was a realtor/real-a-tor and Timothy's character(Raylan) had a line about how to pronounce this very word.
shareThen Raylan's azz should know better! It does NOT "depend where you live!" One is wrong and the other is the proper pronunciation! Gaaaahhhhh~!!!!
shareBut they're not pronouncing it either of the ways it was pronounced on Justified.
