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

gregdaman925 asked:


I was wondering what the difference was between a real estate broker and a real estate agent? How long would you have to go to school to be either one?
I pretty much got my answer to this question. Can a real estate broker act as both a broker as well as the agent? I plan on starting my own realty but want to do both jobs.

What can a real estate agent and broker require you to sign in a real estate deal?

Lisa L asked:


I am in escrow on some property in which the seller and his real estate agent were not very forthcoming in their disclosure statements. Through a third party I found out some things about the property that are detriments (such as occassional flooding) but I am willing to overlook them and still purchase the property. I have released all my contingencies and we have a close date set.

My real estate agent happened to tell the seller’s real estate agent that we found out some of these things on the property - most importantly about the flooding - and now the selling real estate agent wants me to sign a bunch of documents listing out what I found out as if she had told me about them. I don’t want to do it - it took considerable effort for me to uncover these issues and I have already signed off on contingencies. I don’t think I need to also let her off the hook as if she had disclosed these things to me - she did not. Can the realtor force me to sign these?
I am asking if a real estate agent can legally force me to sign informal and misleading documents in order to progress with the purchase? The seller and I have already signed all legal documents as outlined in our legal contract.

I do not have any experience what so ever, just a real urge to get into this market! I want to take classes but, I really don’t know what I need to take 1st and I want to start on my associates degree as a at-home work study but, I’m not sure what employers are looking for as far as education in the real estate world other than Business Admin. I hope there are some real estate guru’s on here to help a sista out! Thank you in advance!

Will I need a real estate license to enter into a contract with any apt complex to locate renters for them?

tyghtshots asked:


Thank you all for responding so promptly to my question on obtaining a real estate license. Now I see and understand that I don’t need one to locate the apartment, but the obtaining the education would be beneficial to me. If I want to enter into a contract with an apartment complex do I need a license for that? I wouldn’t show the apartment to the renter, but I’d let them know where it was and all of the other fun stuff that comes along with the search.

Thank you all!

Imbue asked:


I am interested in a career in real state but I am not the pushy sales type (I’ve worked in car sales and hated bugging people to buy when it wasn’t what they needed or wanted). How much of real estate sales is based on your aggressive sales skills and how much is due to the property and understanding what your customer wants of needs?
