Earlier a broker was a just a tad person who did it part time or helped a friend to crack a deal. With the growth of the real estate, industry and increase in the number of players in the market the face of the real estate brokers have also changed. Today in big cities, real estate brokers are more professional. So Real estate broker are important for real estate.

The difference between a new Age Broker & old fashioned one is that of a family doctor and a cardiologist. The family doctor knows everything about you and reasonable information about your body while a specialist will know evrything about your body but nothing about you. It is always a dilema whose advise one goes by.

Real Estate brokers were crucial earlier .....more than crucial i will put it as truthfull.

Now a days ,If a transaction takes place we can see atleast 3 or 4 brokers in between.They are just using the information they have.

Now a days these brokers/mediators are one of the main reasons for the unrealistic prices in the real estate sector.

Example

If we take the suburbs of our cities.....most of the poeple are unware of the operations of the real estate.
The owner makes agreement with one mediator,later the mediator in turn sells it to buyer or he in turns make an agreement .....in every transaction we can expect 2 levels like this and in each level the original price is hyped by atleast 25% ...and the original owner won't be aware of this price hike.

this one of the many roles pplayed by brokers/mediators in the realestate field
