      Because they act only as a representative of a buyer or a seller of something, they never take "Possession" of the "Equity" or "Product."


      They get paid a commission for finding someone for the other side of the transaction and completing the deal.

        From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.


        The word "broker" derives from Anglo-Normandian brocour "small trader," of uncertain origin, but possibly from Old French brocheor "wine retailer," which comes from the verb brochier "to broach (a keg)."


        A broker is an individual or party (brokerage firm) that arranges transactions between a buyer and a seller.
