What is broker?

A broker is like a helpful friend who helps you buy and sell things from other people.

Imagine you want to buy a toy that your neighbor has, but you don’t know how to talk to them about it. That’s where a broker comes in, they act as the middle person between you and your neighbor. They help you make the deal, so you can get the toy without having to talk directly to your neighbor every time.

How a Broker Works

A broker is like a helper at a marketplace. When you want to buy something, the broker finds someone who wants to sell it. They help you both agree on a price and make sure everything goes smoothly, just like how a teacher helps kids trade stickers during recess.

Sometimes, brokers work with big groups of people, helping them buy and sell things like candy bars or even toys from all over town. It's like having a super helper who knows everyone in the neighborhood!
