Real estate broker

Read a random definition: term probatory

A quick definition of Real estate broker:

A real estate broker is a person who has a special license to help people buy, sell, or rent houses, buildings, and offices. They are different from regular real estate agents because they have more training and can work on their own or hire other agents to work for them. To become a broker, you need to have worked as an agent for a while and pass a test. Brokers get paid when they help someone buy or sell a property, and they do important things like preparing contracts and setting up special accounts to keep the money safe.

A more thorough explanation:

A real estate broker is a licensed professional who helps people buy, sell, and rent properties like houses, buildings, and offices. They have a higher-level license than real estate agents, which allows them to work independently or run their own brokerage firms.

To become a broker, a person must have worked as a real estate agent for a certain number of years and completed additional training and a written exam. Once licensed, brokers earn commissions on real estate transactions, often at a higher rate than agents.

Brokers handle the technical aspects of real estate transactions, such as preparing contracts and establishing escrow accounts. They also oversee agents who work for them.

For example, if someone wants to sell their house, they might hire a real estate broker to help them find a buyer. The broker would handle the paperwork and negotiations, and earn a commission when the sale is complete.

Let me tell you about how I had five fractures in my back bunny. Got those fractures missing the mat high jumping.
[] baddestbunny
16:40
My three guesses for why you were high jumping onto a mat are a) track and field b) army training c) gymnastics
[] baddestbunny
16:40
are any of these correct?
[] baddestbunny
16:41
Also much more impressive than this guy’s back injury which came from being a 18-wheeler driver for many years
16:46
Oh yeah, track and field. Man that sucks for that guy.
Trying to decide if I should waste the money applying to like, duke/va/nw/tx/ucla even though I doubt I would attend
16:53
Why would you not attend?
I'm already gainfully employed in NYC and wouldn't want to relocate for a lower ranked program w/ worse chances of a big law outcome
16:56
Ehh well I wouldn't apply then unless they had some sort of niche program you really liked.
yeah, just worried if i set my sights too high i'll be disappointed across the board like i was last year
16:57
It's kinda like buying an insurance policy incase you don't get into any NY schools but I don't see why you would not.
yeah, same, but i see people with all these UVA A's and I'm like, I could've lobbed that up in september too
17:01
Ahh well, idk, all I can say is good luck!
[] baddestbunny
