7 The book is full of paragraphs such as the following:

A real estate broker is an individual who not only finds property, but also negotiates on behalf of one or more of the parties. In most states an individual is not authorized to act as a real estate broker without a license from the state in which he or she does business. A broker often employs a salesperson, who in many states is also required to be licensed [p. 16].
