A broker is a party that mediates between a buyer and a seller. A broker who also acts as a seller or as a buyer becomes a principal party to the deal. Distinguish agent: one who acts on behalf of a principal. A "brokerage" or a "brokerage firm" is a business that acts as a broker. A brokerage firm is a business that specializes in trading stocks. A sales person working for a securities or commodity brokerage firm is popularly (but incorrectly) called a "broker." A broker in that context is, strictly speaking, an exchange member who is actually executing the purchase or sales order in the 'pit', on the exchange, as a service to the client of the firm for which that salesman works.

Q. I heard that mortgage brokers drive Porches and make tons of money. By and large, how much does the average mortgage broker make? Asked by Carson - Fri Nov 24 22:42:31 2006 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments A. Depends on the person. Two items that affect their income is volume (number of loans they close) and how aggressively they price their loans. With the real estate market booming and the rates being so low the last three years, loan officers stood to make quite a bit (everyone was buying and refinancing). Even inexperienced loan officers did well previously. When the market was hot, I saw good loan officers making around the $300,000 mark. But now things have slowed sales wise and rates have risen (not as many refinances). Some who made easy money previously have little to no pipeline now. Its sales - you need to build a referral base and be persistent. A good loan officer can still make over $100,000 per year. It can be a tough… [cont.] Answered by actingnormal - Sat Nov 25 17:18:06 2006 What is pricing structure for commercial real estate brokers? Q.

Q. What are some "cons" as to why mortgage brokers and lenders aren't hiring their loan processors from home? Especially in the new age of "paperless" offices? Asked by Carmen W - Thu Sep 20 03:47:57 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Because of the privacy issues with borrowers credit information, for one - the Lender has control over what is in its own offices. Also, as for the brokers, they're on the road, often, anyway, so when they do need to return to a desk, it should be at the office. I hope this helps. Good luck!
