They help in facilitating a transaction between buyers and sellers of property.

• A. Lenders
• B. Real estate agents
• C. Brokerage
• D. Sales and marketing

Answer: (B)

Connecting buyers and sellers through a real estate deal requires someone to bridge communication, negotiate terms, and coordinate the steps to closing. Real estate agents perform this function by representing one or both sides, advising on pricing and market conditions, marketing the property, arranging showings, presenting and negotiating offers, and coordinating with lenders, inspectors, title companies, and attorneys. They manage disclosures, ensure paperwork is accurate, and keep the process moving smoothly toward settlement, while upholding fiduciary duties to their client. Lenders, while essential for financing, focus on funding the purchase rather than facilitating the transaction between buyer and seller. A brokerage is the firm that employs agents; it provides the infrastructure and support but does not directly handle the transaction with the buyer and seller. Sales and marketing help attract interest and generate offers, but the actual facilitation of the deal—negotiation, documentation, and coordination of closing—is carried out by real estate agents.
