Special Agent

Definition: A special agent is authorized to perform a particular act or handle a specific transaction for a principal.

Example

A broker engaged as a seller's single agent seeks a buyer for one property.

Keep the distinction clear

Authority to market and negotiate does not automatically include authority to sign the seller's deed or purchase contract. Read the actual authorization.
