A broker who chooses to work as a salesperson for another broker is referred to as a?

When a broker decides to work as a salesperson for another broker, they are categorized as an associate broker. This term indicates that the individual holds a broker's license but is operating under the supervision of another broker. The relationship reflects a level of professionalism and acknowledges their qualification, while also denoting that they have chosen to function as a salesperson within another broker's firm.

In contrast, a salesperson is an individual typically licensed to represent buyers and sellers but does not have a broker license. This distinction underscores the advanced level of education and experience required for someone with a broker's license. Meanwhile, referring to the individual as a client would not apply, as clients are those who seek the services of real estate professionals, not those providing services.

An inactive broker simply refers to a broker who is not currently engaging in real estate activities. This does not accurately capture the scenario described, where the broker remains active within the real estate market but has chosen to work under another broker's firm. Thus, "associate broker" is the appropriate designation for a broker acting in the capacity of a salesperson under another's management.
