Most states require real estate sales professionals to be licensed by the state, so that they can control education and experience requirements and have a central authority to resolve consumer problems. The terminology used to identify real estate professionals varies a little from state to state. Brokers are generally required to have more education and experience than real estate salespersons or agents. The person you normally deal with is a real estate agent or salesperson. The salesperson is licensed by the state, but must work for a broker. All listings are placed in the brokers name, not the salespersons. A broker can deal directly with home buyers and sellers, or can have a staff of salespersons or agents working for him or her.

A real estate salesperson is more than just a âsales person. They act on your behalf as your agent, providing you with advice and guidance and doing a job – helping you buy or sell a home. While it is true they get paid for what they do, so do other professions that provide advice, guidance, and have a service to sell –such as Certified Public Accountants and Attorneys The Internet has opened up a world of information that wasnt previously available to homebuyers and seller. The data on listings available for sale is almost current – but not quite. There are times when you need the most current information about what has sold or is for sale, and the only way to get that is with an agent. If youre selling a home, you gain access to the most buyers by being listed in the Multiple Listing Service.

If you have more than one of the same item for sale, you can create a multiple-quantity listing by clicking the 'Add a quantity to this listing' link as you set up your listing. For example, you've got ten dozen floor tiles left over from your home renovations last year. Just enter '10' under 'Quantity available' when you're listing the item. If you're creating products, the stock amount you enter will be used to represent the quantity available. The buyer can choose to purchase one or more of the item you're selling. Once their purchase is confirmed the listing will remain open until all stock is sold out or the listing has reached it's expiry date and time.

Never choose an agent on the fee structure alone. The final result is where the money is made not through negotiating lower fees.
