What Does a Real Estate Broker Do...
Real estate brokers are advisers, specialists in the field of housing. They serve as intermediaries between sellers and buyers in order to facilitate the real estate transaction, reassure the parties, and refer their clients to the various intervenors and professionals in the real estate sector and the housing in the desired area.
When acting on behalf of the buyer, the real estate broker must:

- Carry out the necessary research for proposing the various properties on the market;
- Advise the buyer on various resources such as financing;
- Pay visits to the company of the buyer;
- Analyze the market of the desired area to advise the buyer on a realistic cost of acquisition;
- Present the buyer's offer to purchase to the seller, and to the real estate broker representing him if the seller has his own broker;
- Guide the buyer through the last steps of the purchase, such as inspecting the building, notarization, etc.
