Thread: What is the difference between a real estate broker and real estate agent?

In South Carolina the Broker in Charge is the one that manages other agents. The Broker in Charge attends meetings.
Helps his or her agents with training, assisting with disputes over contracts and attends to that managing of the daily office staff.
Each company may have additional duties required by the BOC. This person can list and sell property too.

An Agent or in the future a Broker Associate (in SC) is someone who can work part time or full time.
They assist buyers and sellers with their real estate needs. I would prefer someone full time in most instances, if I were not in the business. Hope this helps you.

Now I have idea between real estate broker and real and an agent, Yeah that could be possible in order to learn more about it you must asked the person itself.

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.
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.

A Real Estate agent represents buyers and/or sellers with every step of the purchase and sale of property, including pricing, marketing, showing the home, creating legal paperwork and facilitating escrow services. A Real Estate brokers can also perform these services, but generally just oversee and approve the work of agents under them.
