A broker is an intermediary in a transaction between buyer and seller. Whereas an agent normally acts on behalf of one of the parties, the broker is usually independent. Brokers are common in markets that require particular expertise and where small buyers wish to leverage the scale of an intermediary. Examples might include an insurance broker, a stockbroker or a shipbroker.
