In absence of a signed agreement, brokers may help buyers in the acquisition of property however still represent the seller and the seller's advantage.
In many jurisdictions in the United States, an individual is mandatory to have a license in order to get a commission for services rendered as a real estate broker. Unlicensed activity is unlawful, but sellers and buyers acting as basic in the sale or purchase of real estate are not permitted to be licensed. In some states, lawyers are allowed to handle real estate sales for a profit without being licensed as agents or brokers.
