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\u2019s name, not the salesperson\u2019s.<\/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":[13],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/deskpert.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faqs\/942"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/deskpert.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faqs"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/deskpert.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/faq"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deskpert.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/deskpert.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"faq-group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deskpert.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faq_groups?post=942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
