real estate
broker is a term in the United States which describes
a party who acts as an intermediary between sellers and
buyers of real estate (or real property as it known elsewhere)
and attempts to find sellers who wish to sell and buyers
who wish to buy. In the United States, the relationship
was originally established by reference to the English
common law of agency with the broker having a fiduciary
relationship with his clients.
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, but there are significant differences
between the actions and liabilities of brokers and estate
agents in each country. Beyond the US, other countries
take markedly different approaches to the marketing and
selling of real property.
