Abby, as a real estate broker representing a seller in a transaction, is serving as a special agent. A special agent is someone who is authorized to perform a particular act or transaction, which is typically limited in scope and related to a specific task. In the case of Abby, the specific task is to sell a property on behalf of the seller. This is different from a general agent, who has a broader, ongoing relationship with the principal, a universal agent, who can perform virtually all actions the principal could take, or a specific agent, which is not a commonly used term in real estate and may be confused with special agent.
