Broker brokerage firms before making a selection. The comparative
"shopping" may later prove beneficial as it gives one greater
knowledge of the competitors.

Contractor Status contractors for tax purposes and therefore are not paid a salary
and do not receive employee benefits.

337 354 Professional Real Stress: When one receives a real estate license he/she is a
Estate Associations licensee. It is only after joining the local Association of
REALTORS® that he/she becomes a REALTOR®.
REALTOR® is not synonymous with having a real estate license.
Also, stress that REALTOR® is a two-syllable word, not three:
REAL- TOR.
338 355 Code of Ethics Stress: Concept of highest and best use is in the Code.
NAR code available at www.realtor.org .
347 364 Wrap-Up 1. Distinguish a broker from a salesperson. (Brokers can act
independently. Salespeople must always act under the supervi-
sion of a broker.)
2. Distinguish license suspension from revocation. (Suspension
is temporary and revocation is permanent.)
3. A real estate license is all one needs to market limited partner-
ships? (False, a securities license is needed, not [necessarily] a
real estate license.)
4. Most real estate sales associates are hired as employees? (False,
as independent contractors.)
5. A licensee is automatically a REALTOR®? (False, one
becomes a “REALTOR®" upon joining the local Association of
REALTORS®.)
