Off Topic.Advice please. Domain selling.

[William Palfreman]

Interesting.  A domain makler.  It is a type of business I have
normally seen in connection with renting and buying houses in Germany.
 A third party insinuates himself between buyer and seller, and you
end up paying them enormous fees for something that you could have
worked out yourself.  Both parties lose by employing such an agent.
Plus you will have to hand over your domain before receiving payment,
and maybe end up having to chase them in court when they don't pay.

They have probably already told the other side they will sell them the
domain.  My advice is to do nothing until the real end-client contacts
you.
