Because of the complexity and importance of real estate transactions, people typically seek the help of real estate brokers when buying or selling real estate. Real estate brokers have a thorough knowledge of the real estate market in their communities.They are familiar with local zoning and tax laws and know where to obtain financing for the purchase of property. Brokers and agents do the same type of work, but brokers are licensed to manage their own real estate businesses. Agents must work with a broker. They provide their services to a licensed real estate broker on a contract basis. Brokers and agents arrange for title searches to verify ownership and for meetings between buyers and sellers during which they agree to the details of the transactions. In a final meeting, the new owners take possession of the property. Agents and brokers also act as intermediaries in price negotiations between buyers and sellers. They may help to arrange financing from a lender for the prospective buyer. Brokers and agents assume responsibility for finalizing, or closing, sales, and work with the lenders or lawyers. They obtain listings. To a potential investor, they point out the tax advantages of owning a rental property and finding a renter. Brokers and agents must deal with environmental issues as well, such as advising buyers about lead paint on the walls. In addition, the agent must make sure that any legally mandated or agreed-upon inspections, such as termite and radon inspections, take place. Loan officers, attorneys, and other people handle many details, but the agent must ensure that they are carried out. Brokers often specialize in commercial, industrial, agricultural, or other types of real estate. Selling, buying, or leasing business property requires an understanding of leasing practices, business trends, and the location of the property. Agents who sell, buy, or lease industrial properties must know about the region's transportation, utilities, and labor supply.
