Who actually sells my home – a broker or an agent?
Both. In legal terms, a real estate sales representative (agent) is an individual trained and licensed to act for other people looking to buy or sell a piece of property. While that definition applies to both broker and/or sales agent, only the broker is permitted to collect fees and/or commission for such work. Thus, the sales agent – with whom you have most of your contact – works on behalf of, and is compensated by, the broker.
