A mackler is a professional intermediary who is involved in organizing real estate transactions, such as buying, selling, renting apartments, houses, offices, and other properties. A mackler is not a direct representative of either party, but rather acts as an independent consultant interested in a successful transaction.

A mackler plays a key role in facilitating complex real estate transactions.

Key features include:

  • Selection of objects that meet the client’s requests.
  • Coordinating meetings between the buyer and seller or the tenant and landlord.
  • Providing information on prices, market trends, and legal aspects of transactions.
  • Assistance in preparing and checking documents required to conclude an agreement.
  • Assistance in achieving mutually beneficial conditions between the parties to the transaction.

Despite the similarity of roles, there are important differences between a broker, a realtor, and a mackler:

  • The mackler acts as an independent intermediary, freely assisting both parties to the transaction.
  • A broker represents one of the parties and works on a contractual basis, often being a legal entity.
  • A realtor most often specializes in working with real estate and represents the interests of the client, working in an agency or as a private specialist.
