Sales Agent definition
A sales agent is a person licensed to perform real estate brokerage, such as listing, selling, and leasing, but only while sponsored by and acting in the name of a single sponsoring broker. A sales agent may not operate independently and may not hold trust money in the agent's own name.
Activating a sales agent license requires the required pre-license education, passing the state exam, meeting honesty and fitness standards, and an active sponsoring broker. All of the agent's compensation for brokerage must flow through the sponsoring broker.
