Broker networks
Choose human representation, digital infrastructure, or both.

| Coverage | Depends on the network and the local office | One digital platform across the markets we support |
| Technology | Varies by office and by network | One agent, data-room and deal-workflow system for everyone |
| Advisor role | The advisor is an intermediary affiliated to the network | An independent advisor keeps their own brand and client relationship |
| Fees | Set by the provider, the office and the mandate | Published pricing, shown separately and kept current |
| Best fit | You want somebody to run the process for you | You want flexible execution, transparency and infrastructure you reuse |

The deal journey
How much of the journey each one is built for
Brokers cover most of this journey — that is the job, and a good one does it well. The real difference is not coverage: it is that a broker's capacity is a person's hours, and a platform's is not.

- Built for this
- Partly covered
- Not what it is for
This shows what each product is designed to do, taken from its own published description. It is not a rating of how well it does it — a marketplace built for two stages may do them better than anyone.
Where the deal lives
Stop asking where the deal stands
With a broker, the state of your deal lives in somebody else's inbox and head. Here it is a board everyone with access can look at, at any hour, without asking.
- Stages, tasks, risks, offers and closing actions in one place.
- The Deal Room Agent works the board, not just reports on it.
- Your advisor, your team and the other side see the same thing.
Choosing
Which one should you choose?
Choose a broker network when you want a person to carry the process, you value a local relationship, and one transaction is the whole of the job. Choose SellAnyBiz when you want to keep control and visibility, when you want the work to stay in one place rather than in somebody's inbox, or when you are an advisor whose capacity — not whose skill — is the limit on how many mandates you can run.
