Arrowroot starch is mostly used as a thickener in foods such as puddings and sauces. Its thickening power is twice that of regular flour. It should be mixed with cold water before being added to a hot liquid to prevent clumping.
When a seller hires a real estate broker to list her property for sale, the seller becomes that broker's client. A client, in real estate parlance, is the person whose interests the broker represents, so the broker is the seller's agent. The real estate agents who work for the broker, or who work under the broker by assisting the buyer, are often known as subagents. Subagents work for the seller, just as the broker does.
A real estate brokerage contract or a listing agreement creates an agency relationship between a real estate broker and another person, called the principal, which covers the broker's efforts to sell, buy, lease or exchange real estate for the principal. The principal can be a seller, buyer, lessor or lessee. If you're selling your real estate, you can hire a real estate broker by signing a brokerage contract or listing agreement with the broker. The listing agreement will contain such things as price, terms of sale and length of the listing time.
