A special agent is an individual who is limited to specific jobs from a client. A listing agent hired by a client to sell a home is an example of a special agent.
An agent is an individual who is legally authorized to transact or act on behalf of the principal. It may be in business or any transaction. The agent owes the principal the duty of fiduciary hence obligated to act at the interest of the principal (Sitkoff, 2013).
