Have you considered getting into Real Estate?

What is the difference between a real estate agent and a real estate broker?

In the state of Missouri a real estate agent or real estate salesperson (these terms are interchangeable) is someone who has taken the state required courses and passed the real estate licensing test.

An agent/salesperson is required to work underneath a real estate broker for 2 years. After these 2 years the agent/salesperson may take the state required brokers courses and pass the brokers test in order to become a real estate broker. A real estate broker may then operate their own real estate office or continue to work under their same broker.

Example: Adam Kruse is the managing broker for Hermann London while David Stewart is a real estate agent who works for Hermann London.

The difference between a Real Estate Agent and a Realtor is that a Realtor is a Real Estate Agent that is a member of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) through their local association, for example, The St. Louis Association of Realtors (SLAR).
