San Diego Real Estate Agent Information In the United States, there are commonly two levels of real estate professionals licensed by the individual states, not by the federal government:    1. When a person first becomes licensed to become a San Diego real estate agent, the person obtains a real estate saleperson's license from the state in which the person will practice. To become a San Diego real estate salesperson, the candidate must pass some specific coursework and then pass a state exam on real estate sales. Then in order to work legally, these salespersons must be associated with (and act under the authority of) a San Diego real estate broker as described above. Many states also have reciprocal agreements with specific other states, allowing a licensed individual from a qualfied other state to take the second state's exam without completing the course requirements.    2. Then, usually after getting some experience in San Diego real estate sales, a salesperson may decide to become licensed as a real estate broker. Commonly more coursework and a broker's state exam on real estate must be passed. Upon obtaining a broker's license, a real estate agent may continue to work for another broker in a similar capacity as before, become a San Diego real estate office branch manager, or become in charge of his/her own brokerage and be able to hire other salesperson (or broker) licensees. Typically, a real estate license is needed to perform a "real estate act" (such as showing properties for sale) for compensation, but principals (sellers or buyers) can perform these acts themselves without a license. A Realtor is a real estate agent who is a member of the National Association of Realtors and adheres to the association's Code of Ethics. (The NAR insists that the word be written "REALTOR®," typeset in all capitals with an accompanying ® symbol. However, most print publications ignore this and revert to their own style guide.) All Realtors are brokers/salespersons, but not all brokers/salespersons are realtors.
