The described scenario is a trick to unlawfully consume the wealth of others. Brokerage fees are for an agreed-upon service, requested either by the property owner or the broker himself. No broker has the right to involve another person in the deal without their permission and consent. If he does so, it is from his own share. "So, if he works without permission, or if permission was granted to an individual and another person performs the work, then he is not entitled to anything."
