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; I was sitting at the nail salon waiting for my serviceman to finish up with a client that she had, but and there was a lady sitting next to me who decided to beginning up a conversation with me, then she was asking whether I owned or rented my loft in addition to after being hesitant about sharing any information with this strange lady, she mentioned that she was in real estate.
- So, after a few minutes of chatting, I made the mistake in addition to called her a real estate agent, to which she corrected me in addition to said that she was a broker… To be honest, I don’t know I have ever used the term real estate broker, although I have used the words realtor or real estate agent before.
And in my head, those terms were interchangeable, but this lady who was a bit passionate about what she did, explained that she was more than a real estate agent. She went on to explain that a real estate agent in addition to a realtor toil under a real estate broker, and 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, then well, I am glad 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 in addition to on a bit, so I was glad when my serviceman was done with her client because I was able to get my nails done.
