Answered about 1 year ago. Yes, there is a difference between an agent and a broker. The roles of each are usually defined by state law and can vary from state to state, and since I'm not licensed in IA I can't give you specifics on the differences in your state. However, here is a link to an article which gives a good general overview of the distinction between the two.
