And in my head, those terms were interchangeable, and but this lady who was a bit romantic about what she did, explained that she was more than a real estate agent
Do you know the difference between a real estate agent versus a real estate broker? Up until recently, I believed they functioned in the same way, then i was resting at the nail salon waiting for my specialist to finish up with a customer that she had… And there was a lady resting next to me who decided to start up a conversation with me; She was asking whether I owned or rented my dwelling and after being hesitant about sharing any information with this weird lady, she mentioned that she was in real estate. So, after a few minutes of chatting, I made the mistake and called her a real estate agent, to which she corrected me and said that she was a broker… To be honest, I don’t guess I have ever used the term real estate broker, but I have used the words realtor or real estate agent before. And in my head, those terms were interchangeable, and but this lady who was a bit romantic about what she did, explained that she was more than a real estate agent. She went on to explain that a real estate agent and a realtor toil under a real estate broker; Furthermore, she stated that the real estate agent doesn’t have the qualifications of a real estate broker, nor do they have the education or the licensing, but well, I am thrilled that she explained the difference to me, so that I can avoid the mistake of thinking the 2 professions were the same. Anyway, the lady was rambling on and on a bit, so I was thrilled when my specialist was done with her customer because I was able to get my nails done.
