When selling or buying a house, you will encounter, and even work with, different individuals who also have different roles within the organization. Primarily, you will come across real estate agents and brokers. Although the objectives of these two professionals may be similar, they have differences:

• Real estate agents: These are individuals who hold a license allowing them to act as agents. The requirements to obtain the license vary across the country.
• Brokers: These are real estate agents who have attained the highest level of licensure after working in the industry.
