What is Real Estate Broker?

A real estate broker is a licensed professional who has completed additional education and experience beyond an agent and can operate independently, own a brokerage, and supervise agents. Brokers carry more legal responsibility for transactions. A “broker associate” is a broker who works under another broker’s firm.

Example: An experienced agent earns a broker license, allowing them to open their own brokerage and oversee other agents’ transactions.
