What is a Real Estate Broker?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Real estate brokers and real estate agents are used interchangeably, but they vastly vary in definition. A real estate broker is a licensed real estate professional in their own right who\u2019s also a licensed real estate agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The primary difference<\/a> between a real estate broker and an agent is that a broker can start their own firm and hire real estate agents to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a real estate agent to become a licensed real estate broker, they have to take additional training courses and acquire an experience of a certain number of years. The exact requirements to become a real estate broker vary statewide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While real estate agents focus on the sales aspect of the transaction, brokers specialize in the technical aspects, such as drafting purchase agreements, contracts, escrow arrangements, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
