Summary
En la Edad Media el corredor desempeñaba un oficio (no cargo^) similar al que hoy ejercen los agentes de comercio, puesto que se encargaba de poner en relación al vendedor y al comprador. Inmuebles o instrumentos de crédito los confiaban a un corredor que buscaba clientes y los ponía en contacto con el propietario, para que entre ellos ultimaran el trato^. En caso de ropas o bienes muebles, solía tenerlos en depósito en su casa hasta que encontraba comprador^. En calidad de agentes comerciales entraban en contacto con personas de fuera y de la propia ciudad, lo que les permitía realizar simultáneamente varias operaciones de compraventa. Aunque no podían comerciar para sí mismos, fueron los promotores de la industria y el comercio, y gozaron del respeto de sus conciudadanos, porque en el terreno negocial gozaban de fe pública
