Overview
As a Real Estate Broker, you can be your own independent business owner, complete with flexibility, employees, and unlimited growth potential. You can perform the duties of a Real Estate Agent representing buyers/sellers in a property transaction, or you can simply manage the Agents who work under your sponsorship.
Owning a Broker’s License assures your client that you have attained a degree of experience and education beyond that of a beginning Salesperson.
A Real Estate Broker differs from Agents, primarily because having a Broker’s license allows them to operate their own real estate business. Brokers perform many of the same duties as Real Estate Agents with respect to helping clients buy, sell or rent residential, commercial or industrial properties. In addition, Brokers can value properties, manage and supervise Real Estate Agents, negotiate commercial loans, manage property, have direct access to the Multiple Listings Service (MLS), and even become a Real Estate Instructor. Brokers make their money by taking charging a commission on the final sales or rental price of the property, and/or sharing a portion of the commissions earned by Salespeople who work under their sponsorship and with other Brokers.
