A real estate brokerage is a company that helps people buy, sell, or rent properties. They employ licensed real estate agents who assist clients in navigating the complex process of real estate transactions. These agents provide valuable market insights, help with pricing, and negotiate deals on behalf of their clients. Brokerages typically earn a commission based on the sale price of a property, which is usually paid by the seller. They may also offer additional services, such as property management or investment advice, to cater to various client needs in the real estate market.
