 Real estate broker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Estate agent is the term used in the United Kingdom to describe a person or organization whose business is to market real estate on behalf of clients.
However, although a real estate agent commonly fills out the real estate contract form, agents are typically not given power of attorney to sign the real estate contract or the deed; the principals sign these documents.
Real estate brokers (and their agents) typically do not provide title service such as title search or title insurance, do not conduct surveys or formal appraisals of the property such as those required by lenders, and do not act as lawyers for the parties, although they may "coordinate" these activities with the appropriate specialists.
