If you are a person who trades IP addresses for a living, chances are good that you don't feel like you need a broker. If you've made it this far in the IP address trading game, you are doing very well. However, you could be doing better. The reality of the situation is that brokers have a lot to potentially offer trading professionals. Here are the two greatest benefits that an IP broker can provide to an IP address trading professional.

1. Helps You Figure Out the Type of Space That Your IP Addresses Belong to and the Type of Space that You Might Be Buying

The first thing that an IP broker can help you with is figuring out what type of space you are dealing with. IP addresses don't all have the same type of space and will have different values depending on the types of space that they have. You might not know the exact distinction between the types of IP addresses that you have or not have the time to do the necessary research in order to be certain that you're getting the right price. An IP broker can help you ensure that you don't inadvertently pay too much or ask for too little for your IP address and lose money.

A broker can also tell if you have an IP address with aggregative properties, meaning that it can be bundled with other, similar IP addresses that occupy similar space, thereby increasing network efficiency. Your broker can help you find someone who has IP addresses occupying similar space that you can buy from or sell to, allowing you to get more valuable IP addresses or sell yours to someone who is willing to pay a higher price for it. If you aggregate a lot of similar IP addresses, you can sell them for a higher cost than you would be able to if you were selling them all separately.

2. Helps You Avoid Restricted Space

An IP broker can help you with the heavy lifting of looking through IP ownership and use policies to make sure that all IP addresses that you purchase or sell can legally change ownership. This is important because it will save you a great deal of time and money on research and will allow you to avoid running afoul of the law should you overlook something when you're trying to balance too many things on your plate at the same time.
