No "Broker" license designation on BP?
I'd like to include my broker licenses as a designation on my profile. Why is there an "agent", but no real estate "broker" license designation on my profile page?

@Jon Q. - Broker doesn't mean the same thing in all states, but real estate agent does (by virtue of every broker also being a real estate agent, in all states, to the best of my knowledge).
In Illinois, for example, there is no such thing as "just" a real estate agent. Everyone is a broker. Would it make sense that real estate agents in Illinois get a fancy title just because Illinois is silly?
