A salesperson is primarily responsible for selling products or services directly to customers, working within a dealership or company to assist with customer inquiries, provide product information, conduct sales, and finalize transactions. They typically require basic licensing and education and operate under the supervision of a broker or manager.
In contrast, a broker acts as an intermediary between buyers and sellers, facilitating transactions and negotiating deals. Brokers require more extensive education and licensing, allowing them to work independently and supervise salespeople. They have the authority to run their own business and hire salespeople, offering a broader range of services and expertise in their field.
