I’m asking because so many searchers and buyers complain about brokers. It might be useful to focus on what’s REALLY UNWANTED. Which you can do by commenting below. (Consider including what you see as the implications for what’s undesirable to you, and perhaps suggest workarounds or walkarounds?)

One of the most annoying aspects of business brokers is their tendency to prioritize commissions over the buyer’s or seller’s best interests, sometimes pushing deals that aren’t truly beneficial. Another common fear is lack of transparency, as some brokers may withhold critical information, exaggerate a business’s value, or rush the process, leaving buyers or sellers vulnerable to bad deals.
