Did you know a real estate salesperson is NOT a Broker; however, most Brokers were salespeople at some time in their career. In order for a salesperson to become a Broker, he/she MUST have a high school diploma, complete approved Broker educational courses(240 hours), pass additional testing (Federal & State), meet experience requirements ( Minimum 3 years) and provide a detailed resume of his/her real estate performance. These high standards discourage many licensees from seeking the status of Broker and therefore choose to remain salespeople. I am a Broker
Did you know BUYERS who enter into an agency relationship with my firm and select me, a Broker, as their agent to purchase a home not only receive my exclusive representation, but also may receive 25% of the GROSS commission my firm is paid by the Seller.
