THE REAL ESTATE AGENT 

​​

A Real Estate Agent (broker) is a licensed professional who acts as an intermediary between buyers and sellers of real estate. In the multifamily exchange market, a broker typically helps clients buy, sell, or exchange properties such as apartment buildings or complexes. Additionally, a real estate broker also provides market analysis, property valuations, and other services to help clients make informed decisions about their real estate investments. ​

​

In the context of The  Multifamily Real Estate Group, a real estate agent acting as a Scrum Master would take on a unique role that blends traditional real estate responsibilities with Agile project management principles. Here’s how the role might be defined:
