Brokerage services put a licensed intermediary between a buyer and a seller, or a tenant and a landlord. Most firms in this category are commercial real estate brokers who represent tenants searching for office, retail or industrial space, landlords filling buildings, and investors buying or selling property. Others are business brokers who value and sell privately held companies. Companies hire one when a lease is ending, a site search is needed for expansion, or an owner is ready to sell.
When you compare brokers on this page, check which side they represent, the property or business type and deal sizes in their record, and how they are paid.
We evaluate companies on verified profile data: services, pricing, locations, and portfolio. Client reviews are being collected. We may earn a fee for some placements. How we rank and verify

What the work covers, how to judge a partner and what drives the price.
In tenant representation, the broker defines requirements with you, surveys the market, tours sites, issues requests for proposal to landlords, compares offers on total occupancy cost, and negotiates lease terms such as rent escalations, tenant improvement allowances, free rent, renewal and termination options. In landlord work, the broker prices space, markets it, qualifies tenants and negotiates.
Investment sales brokers prepare an offering memorandum, market the asset to qualified buyers, manage tours and offers, and coordinate due diligence to closing. Business brokers value the company, prepare a confidential information memorandum, screen buyers under NDA and guide the deal through letter of intent and closing.
Engagements are signed as exclusive listing or representation agreements for a set term, and most of the broker's pay depends on a completed transaction.
Confirm the broker holds a real estate license in the state or province of the property, or the relevant license where business brokerage requires one. Ask for recent deals of your property type, size and submarket, and references from clients on the same side of the table you are.
Conflicts matter. A firm that represents landlords in your target buildings may struggle to push them hard on your behalf, so ask how dual agency is disclosed and handled. Ask who will actually work your deal day to day, and what market data and occupancy cost analysis they provide.
For a business sale, ask how the broker values companies, how buyers are screened and how confidentiality is protected. Red flags include upfront fees with no clear deliverables, valuation promises well above comparable sales, and exclusivity terms with no performance commitments.
Real estate brokers are usually paid a commission on the transaction: a share of the lease value, often paid by the landlord in tenant deals, or a share of the sale price in investment sales. Business brokers charge a success fee on the sale and sometimes a retainer or valuation fee. Deal size, property or business type, market activity and exclusivity all affect the rate.
Most firms here take mandates with no stated minimum, as commission-based brokers often do. A smaller set work from $100,000 or $250,000, which reflects investment sales, large corporate leases and business sales where fees are only worthwhile above a certain deal size.
Short answers to what buyers ask before hiring a Brokerage Services company.
Question not covered? Ask our team
Most brokers are paid a commission on the completed deal, a share of the lease value or sale price, and in tenant leases the landlord often pays it. Many firms on Edverise have no minimum, while those handling investment sales or large corporate deals start at $100,000 or $250,000.
A tenant representative works for the company looking for space, while a landlord representative works for the building owner. Tenant reps push for lower occupancy cost and flexible terms, and landlord reps aim to fill space at the best rent, so it matters which side your broker works for.
Choose a licensed broker with recent deals of your property type and size in your target market who represents your side of the transaction. Ask how conflicts and dual agency are handled, who works your deal and how the commission is structured.
Real estate clients make up the largest group served by brokers in this listing, followed by financial services, business services, manufacturing, energy, food and beverage, and hospitality companies. Manufacturers often need industrial space, and hospitality and food businesses search for retail and restaurant locations.
Houston has the largest group of brokerage firms on this page, with others spread across many cities. Brokerage is local work, so choose a broker licensed and active in the market where the property sits or where buyers for your business are found.
