Some property owners come to the real estate office in search of an agent, but often agents must recruit homeowners. Agents may call or write letters to property owners to determine if they want to sell their property. To determine a property's market price, agents compare the property with similar properties that have been sold recently. When closing sales, brokers often provide buyers with information about loans. They also arrange for title searches and for meetings between buyers and sellers.
Brokers also manage their offices, advertise properties, and handle other business matters.
