A brokerage is a firm that acts as an intermediary between a purchaser and a seller. More commonly, a brokerage is referred to as a brokerage firm. To broker a deal is to communicate with both the buyer and seller as to acceptable price on anything sold or purchased.
A broker, a single person, or the brokerage firm completes any necessary legal paperwork, obtains the appropriate signatures, and collects money from the purchaser to give to the seller. Since the buyer and seller are employing the brokerage to complete the deal, the brokerage may collect a portion of the money obtained. In some cases, a brokerage receives money from both parties. In others, the brokerage receives a commission only from the seller.
