Arrowroot starch is mostly used as a thickener in foods such as puddings and sauces. Its thickening power is twice that of regular flour. It should be mixed with cold water before being added to a hot liquid to prevent clumping.
When a seller hires a real estate broker to list her property for sale, the seller becomes that broker's client. A client, in real estate parlance, is the person whose interests the broker represents, so the broker is the seller's agent. The real estate agents who work for the broker, or who work under the broker by assisting the buyer, are often known as subagents. Subagents work for the seller, just as the broker does.

A real estate broker acts as an intermediary between the parties selling and buying the real estate.
