Who among the following would NOT be considered an agent?

The designation of an agent involves a formal relationship in which one party acts on behalf of another in negotiations or transactions. In the context of real estate, an agent typically has a fiduciary duty to represent their client's best interests.

A non-licensed personal assistant, as indicated in the correct choice, does not fulfill the criteria to be considered an agent because they lack the legal authorization and formal relationship needed to represent another party in transactions. Unlike brokers, property managers, and licensed salespersons who are entrusted with responsibilities and obligations to their clients, a personal assistant often performs administrative tasks without the capacity to engage in transactions or offer legal advice. Therefore, they cannot be held to the same standards of accountability or fiduciary duty intrinsic to agency relationships.

In contrast, the other options all represent individuals who have the legal capacity to act on behalf of clients in real estate matters. A broker, property manager, and salesperson are all licensed and are therefore able to enter into contracts, represent clients, and are legally recognized as agents.
