What's the difference between a broker and a salesperson?

A real estate broker has passed the PRC board exam and can operate independently, hire salespersons, and receive commissions directly. A salesperson works under a licensed broker's supervision and cannot transact independently. Brokers have higher educational requirements (BS REM since 2017) and broader legal responsibilities for transactions.

Why should I work with a licensed broker?

Licensed brokers are regulated by the PRC and bound by the Real Estate Service Act (RESA). They carry professional liability, must complete continuing education, and follow a strict Code of Ethics. Working with unlicensed agents ("colorum") offers no legal protection, no recourse for disputes, and may expose you to fraud. Verify license status before any transaction.

How has the real estate industry changed since the pandemic?

The post-pandemic real estate market has seen significant shifts: increased demand for larger living spaces, growth in provincial markets, rise of virtual property tours, and greater emphasis on home office spaces. Brokers licensed after 2022 have trained specifically for this evolved market landscape and are well-versed in hybrid transaction methods.
