To your question.Nothing in your earlier post suggested you were selling shares in a private company. How were readers supposed to know that, or even assume that? Once again, your self-important arrogance and condescending attitude are on display, which is why I rarely reply to your posts.
Around here (meaning the USA), brokers generally cater to folks who have an aversion to trading online - people who like to do it the old-fashioned way - or don't even have a brokerage. Also, VERY large clients will have a broker. I used to use a broker on the phone at Merrill Lynch - back in 1990. LOL You must be a VERY large client, which accrues to your self-important god-like image of yourself.
Also around here, a broker rarely has a buyer AND a seller for private company shares. Mostly, such transactions are initiated between the buyer and seller, and handled by their attorneys. Of course, all stock transactions must go through the SEC and/or other government agencies, and so brokerage firms often get to play a role, if only to be sure someone didn't screw up and violate some damn rule. But "call my broker"? Ha!
The last time I was offered shares in a private company was when I worked at JPR (Joiner-Pelton-Rose) audio/acoustical/noise/vibration consultants. Ha! I declined. Within 4 years, the company went under, although it had been around for at least a couple decades. Although, Russ Berger went off and did his own thing and is very successful, and Jack Wrightson and Jim Johnson also did and are very successful. I went into the personal computer biz, and was very successful. David Joiner split town and went to the Austin area to set up a new company.
Now, if I were offered shares in, say, Chick-fil-A, I'd probably go for it. Dan Cathy, the COO, is a big jazz fan, as am I. But I doubt either of us would be calling a broker to say "buy!" or "sell!".
