Is Alan Hernandez a broker or an agent?

What's the difference between hiring a real estate agent and a broker?
Both are licensed to help you buy or sell, but a broker has completed additional education and experience requirements and is licensed to run a brokerage and supervise agents. In Texas, every agent must work under a sponsoring broker. Hiring a broker like Alan R. Hernandez means you work directly with the most-senior decision-maker — the person who sets the standards, owns the outcome, and answers to no one above him on your deal — rather than an agent who may need to escalate questions to their broker.
