FAQ
What is a Thompson broker?
A Thompson broker is a type of brokerage that chooses not to be a member of the Association of Realtors. As a result, the agents in a Thompson brokerage are not required to be members either. However, Thompson brokerages are relatively rare and not commonly found in the industry.
What are the benefits of being a full service agent?
Being a full service agent comes with several benefits, such as access to the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) and the ability to represent both buyers and sellers in real estate transactions. Full service agents also have access to standardized contracts and forms provided by the Association of Realtors.
Why should I consider becoming a referral agent?
Becoming a referral agent can be a good option if you don't have the resources or time to commit to being a full service agent. As a referral agent, you can build a network of agents in other markets and receive referral fees when they send you leads. This allows you to generate leads without paying upfront for advertising or MLS dues.
What are the requirements to become a broker?
To become a broker, you need to have an active license at a brokerage for at least two years in the last five years. This makes you eligible to get a broker license and start your own brokerage.
What is the difference between a realtor and a real estate agent?
A realtor is a term used for a real estate professional who is a card-carrying member of the Association of Realtors and pays annual dues. A real estate agent is a general term for anyone with a real estate license.
