What is the difference between a real estate agent and a real estate broker?
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. In Mexico, AMPI is working with the state and federal governments to establish regulations similar to those of the United States. The best way to ensure that you are getting a professional real estate agent to assist is to choose one that is a member in good standing of the local AMPI chapter. AMPI members are committed to a higher level of standards than other "so-called" real estate agents.
The terminology used to identify real estate professionals varies a little from state to state and in different parts of the world. 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 broker's name, not the salesperson's.
A broker can deal directly with home buyers and sellers, or can have a staff of salespersons or real estate agents.
Cuestiones Contractuales
Mi casa recientemente abrio escrow y se suponia duraria 60 dias. Una semana antes del cierre se me notifico por el Asesor Inmobiliario que la casa no se avaluo por la cantidad pactada en la oferta de compra - venta. Los compradores se rehusan a escoger otro banco para obtener su hipoteca o de obtener otro avaluo a mi costo. Pierden el comprador su deposito de garantia? o se les regresa su dinero?
