A real estate broker is a professional who helps individuals or businesses in buying, selling or renting properties. Brokers act as intermediaries between buyers as well as sellers. Additionally, they are licensed by the state in which they operate. They have a deep understanding of the local real estate market including current market conditions, property values, zoning laws as well as financing options. Furthermore, they use this knowledge to help clients make informed decisions about buying or selling real estate.

Brokers can help sellers in the marketing of their properties by creating listings, arranging property viewings and negotiating deals with potential buyers. They can also aid buyers into finding properties that meet their needs as well as budget, arrange property viewings and negotiate deals with sellers. Moreover, they can also earn a commission for their services, typically a percentage of the sale price of the property. The commission is usually a split between the buyer's broker and the seller's broker.
