Most states require real estate sales professionals to be licensed by the state, so that they can control education and experience requirements and have a central authority to resolve consumer problems.<\/p>\n

The terminology used to identify real estate professionals varies a little from state to state. Brokers are generally required to have more education and experience than real estate salespersons or agents.<\/p>\n

The person you normally deal with is a real estate agent or salesperson. The salesperson is licensed by the state, but must work for a broker. All listings are placed in the broker’s name, not the salesperson’s.<\/p>\n

A broker can deal directly with home buyers and sellers, or can have a staff of salespersons or agents working for him or her. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"template":"","faq_groups":[18],"class_list":["post-3553","faq","type-faq","status-publish","hentry","faq-group-agents-faqs"],"yoast_head":"\nWhat is the difference between a real estate agent and a real estate broker? - ProperResident<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/properresident.com\/usa\/faq\/what-is-the-difference-between-a-real-estate-agent-and-a-real-estate-broker\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"What is the difference between a real estate agent and a real estate broker?\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Most states require real estate sales professionals to be licensed by the state, so that they can control education and experience requirements and have a central authority to resolve consumer problems.
