Not necessarily. A broker is licensed to sell insurance products; some also hold advisory credentials, but the titles carry different duties, so ask which standard applies to your conversation.

No. This site is educational, not professional advice. Verify any broker's license with your state insurance department and consult a licensed adviser before buying.
