• 仲買人なかがいにんCommon
  nounThe native word for a broker as a person: a middleman who buys and sells on behalf of others, the sense also covered by 'jobber'. Use it for the individual, not the business.

• 仲買なかがいCommon

Use 「ブローカー」 for a broker as a person in general contexts, 仲買人 for a middleman who trades on others' behalf, and 仲買 chiefly for the brokerage business or activity itself.
