There are so many types of real estate agents that even agents sometimes confuse themselves. Some agents add titles after their names to help them stand out in a crowd. They might be associates, real estate consultants, salespersons, or REALTORs®, but they're all licensed to sell real estate.
Real estate brokers can work as agents but agents can't work as brokers, at least not without a broker's license. Agents who give real estate advice must have a real estate license.
hope this helps!
