Are property brokers actually worth the commission they charge or are buyers and sellers overpaying for something they could do themselves?

In this episode of Two Fat Brokers, we break down exactly what a broker should be doing to justify their fee and where the industry often gets it wrong.

We cover:

• What you’re really paying for

• The difference between order-takers and true advisors

• Off-plan vs secondary representation

• Negotiation power & deal structuring

• Access to off-market inventory

• Risk mitigation & due diligence

• When you absolutely do NOT need a broker

In markets like Dubai and Abu Dhabi, fees are often 2% but the real question is whether the value delivered is 2%… or 10x that.

The truth? A strong broker doesn’t just open doors. They protect capital, structure deals properly, create leverage in negotiations, and sometimes stop you from making very expensive mistakes.

But not all brokers are built the same.

So — are brokers worth it… or is it time the industry evolved?
