A broker is licensed by their state to conduct real estate transactions, i.e., buying and selling of real property.An agent is basically a licensed individual who works for a broker.In a typical setup, a broker will manage a real estate office while the agents do all the "heavy lifting", such as showing properties, filling out contracts, handling phone calls, coordinating inspections and appraisals, etc.
