Wikipedia
Broker
A broker is a person or firm who arranges transactions between a buyer and a seller for a commission when the deal is executed. A broker who also acts as a seller or as a buyer becomes a principal party to the deal. Neither role should be confused with that of an agent—one who acts on behalf of a principal party in a deal.

broker
A broker is an individual or a firm that serves as an intermediary between buyers and sellers, often for financial transactions such as stocks, bonds, commodities or real estate. They facilitate transactions by bringing both parties together and negotiating terms, typically earning a commission or fee once the transaction is completed. The broker does not own the goods or assets but assists in making the trade possible. They typically have expertise in the industry they serve and use that knowledge to match the needs of both parties.
