Frequently asked questions

What is a real-estate broker?
A broker holds a higher-tier license than a salesperson. Brokers can operate independently, own a brokerage, and supervise other agents. Many transactions legally require a broker of record.
When should I hire a broker instead of an agent?
For complex deals — commercial property, multi-unit investment, off-market acquisitions, or anything requiring an experienced negotiator with their own brokerage authority — go straight to a broker.
How are brokers paid?
Brokers typically earn a commission on closed transactions and may take a share of the commissions of agents they supervise. Fee structures are negotiable and disclosed in your representation agreement.
What's the difference between a broker and a broker-associate?
A broker-associate holds a broker license but works under another broker's firm. A designated or managing broker is responsible for the firm's compliance and supervision.
