An Agent (Representative) is a person or entity authorized to act on behalf of another individual or organization, known as the principal. Agents can represent clients in various fields, such as real estate, insurance, or legal matters, facilitating transactions and negotiations. Their primary role is to act in the best interest of the principal while adhering to the terms of their agreement.
Agents often have specific duties, including communicating with third parties, managing contracts, and providing expert advice. They may earn a commission or fee for their services, depending on the industry and the nature of the representation. Examples of agents include real estate agents, insurance agents, and sports agents.
