What is a Real Estate Broker Vs Agent?

If you're considering a career in real estate, you may be weighing the pros and cons of pursuing a career as a broker vs. an agent. Let's take a closer look at the differences:

  • Real estate agents are licensed to buy or sell real estate. They can represent the buyer or seller and work in commercial or residential property. They receive a percentage of the sale as a commission.
  • To become a real estate broker, you must first be an agent. Then, you earn additional licenses to become a broker. A broker can do everything a real estate agent does: move money in and out of escrow accounts and handle disputes. You can also hire real estate agents to work under you, earning a percentage of their commissions and your own.

Real Estate Broker Classes: How Do I Become a Real Estate Broker or Agent?

Becoming a real estate broker starts with becoming a real estate agent. Licensure requirements vary from state to state, so taking classes that cater to your state's requirements is essential. At HomeServices Real Estate Academy, we serve Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio, and our courses align with each state's unique requirements.

These requirements generally include being at least 18 years old, taking a certain number of courses or course hours, and passing the licensure exam. However, the details vary in several important ways for each state, so ensure you know your state's requirements.

You can become a real estate broker once you've been a real estate agent. Again, you must take some classes and pass the licensing exam. You may also need to be sponsored by a real estate broker.
