What’s the Difference?
Real Estate Agent: Helps clients buy and sell property—residential or commercial.
Business Broker: Helps entrepreneurs buy and sell entire businesses (usually without real estate involved).
And here’s the best part:
In most states, you don’t need a separate license to be a business broker. In fact, 33 states allow you to sell businesses without a real estate license at all.

Let’s break it down:
| Real Estate | Business Brokering |

| Property-focused | Business + revenue-focused |
As a business broker, you can earn $15K–$85K per deal. And because you’re already trained in contracts, negotiations, and client relationships, you’re perfectly positioned to do both.

Create More Deals From Every Relationship
Here’s what most agents don’t realize:
Business owners sell their business… and then sell their home.
They move. They downsize. They invest in real estate.
That means every business deal can lead to two commissions—one for the business, one for the property.
Plus, many business sales involve:
Commercial landlords
Investors looking for additional assets
CRE deals and lease negotiations
If you’re already an agent, you’re leaving money on the table by not offering business brokerage.
