Abstract: A number of
facets of real estate brokerage have been examined over time in theoretical and empirical
articles appearing in the literature. This article summarizes brokerage research and
suggests avenues for future inquiry. In attempting to organize brokerage research, the
research is classified into eight broad topical areas: (1) brokerage firm characteristics;
(2) broker commissions; (3) time on the market; (4) broker compensation; (5) the effects
of brokerage on house prices; (6) regulation of the brokerage industry; (7) legal
liability; and (8) international comparisons. In each area, we point out the major focus
of the research by summarizing important findings.
