The major difference between a real estate broker and a real estate salesperson is that?

  1. Only a broker can show properties

  2. Only a salesperson can work directly with buyers

  3. A broker can accept commissions from a client, the salesperson cannot

  4. Only a broker can list properties

The correct answer is: A broker can accept commissions from a client, the salesperson cannot

A real estate broker and a real estate salesperson are both licensed professionals who assist clients in buying and selling real estate. However, the major difference between them is the level of responsibility and authority they have. While both can show properties and work directly with buyers, a broker has the additional responsibility of managing and supervising salespersons. Therefore, a broker can accept commissions from a client, while a salesperson cannot. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they highlight specific tasks that can be performed by both a broker and a salesperson.
