What does a client representative do?

A client representative oversees various business activities on behalf of customers, such as safety maintenance, real estate purchases, banking transactions, or medical billing. They have the authority to act as if they were the client to execute pre-agreed decisions with external contractors. Client representatives offer a range of services, including providing accurate information, addressing complaints, representing clients in meetings, facilitating sales transactions, and offering advice.

What is the difference between an agent and a client?

A client maintains a contractual bond with an agent representing them in legal matters. Unlike a customer’s relationship with a salesperson or broker, there is a formal agency agreement between a client and an agent. The transition from customer to client occurs when the relationship is formalised through a documented agreement.
