The results show that price premiums are considered for investments when using a broker (3.6\%), these price premiums are lower than those found in previous research which amounted to 7.7\%. Results for a subsample of Amsterdam show similar effects of the use of a broker and amount to 3.7\%. The effect of using a broker with a higher market share also results in price premiums on transaction prices amounting to a 0.5\% increase.} }
