A broker hired to sell a house is considered a

  1. General agent

  2. Special agent

  3. Dual agent

  4. Universal agent

The correct answer is: Special agent

A broker hired to sell a house is considered a special agent because they have limited authority to act on behalf of the seller in the specific transaction of selling the house. A general agent has more authority to act on behalf of their client, but in a broader scope. A dual agent represents both the buyer and seller in a transaction, which may create a conflict of interest. A universal agent has the broadest authority to act on behalf of their client in all matters. Therefore, a special agent is the most appropriate term for a broker hired to sell a house.
