Brokers are generally required to have more education and experience than real estate salespersons or agents.<\/p>\n<p>The person you normally deal with is a real estate agent or salesperson. The salesperson is licensed by the state, but must work for a broker. All listings are placed in the broker&#8217;s name, not the salesperson&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>A broker can deal directly with home buyers and sellers, or can have a staff of salespersons or agents working for him or her. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"template":"","faq_groups":[18],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stonehengeok.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faqs\/3553"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stonehengeok.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faqs"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stonehengeok.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/faq"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stonehengeok.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stonehengeok.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3553"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"faq-group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stonehengeok.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faq_groups?post=3553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
