After gaining
some years of experience in real estate sales, a
salesperson may decide to become licensed as a real
estate broker or Principal/Qualifying broker in order to
own, manage or operate his/her own brokerage. In
addition, some states allow college graduates to apply
for a broker license without years of experience. |

A single-family detached home, or
single-family home or detached house for short, also
variously known as a single-detached dwelling or separate
house is a free-standing residential building. Most
single-family homes are built on lots larger than the
structure itself, adding an area surrounding the house,
which is commonly called a yard in North American English or
a garden in British English. Garages can also be
found on most lots. In older homes, they are typically
detached, standing as a separate building, either near a
driveway or facing an alley in urban areas. Newer homes in
North America favor attached garages, often facing the
street, as most recent developments do not include
alleys.Typically only members of a single family live in
this type of house, yet in the wider sense it refers to a
single party of people. The counterparts to single-family
homes are apartment complexes, condominiums, duplexes,
semi-detached houses, or townhomes/terrace houses, where
several families live in the same structure.A Realtor is a real estate
salesperson or broker who is a member of the National
Association of Realtors. All Realtors are
brokers/salespersons, but not all brokers/salespersons
are Realtors. College
graduates fall into this category once they have
completed the state required courses well.Commonly more
course work and a broker's state exam on real estate law
must be passed. |

While some people may refer to any licensed real estate
agent as a real estate broker, a licensed real estate
agent is a professional who has obtained either a real
estate salesperson's license or a real estate broker's
license.Becoming a branch office manager may or may not
require a broker's license.

In the United States, there are commonly two levels of
real estate professionals licensed by the individual
states, but not by the federal government.In order to
work, salespersons must then be associated with and act
under the authority of a real estate broker.

When a person first becomes licensed to become a real
estate agent, he/she obtains a real estate salesperson's
license or some states use the alternative term, broker
from the state in which he/she will practice. If you
want to obtain a real estate license, the candidate must
take specific coursework.
