Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'real estate' (property/land) with 'broker' (a person who trades assets), so a B1 learner who knows those constituents can infer it denotes an agent who handles property transactions. The noun–noun compositional pattern is common in English and other languages (e.g., real-estate agent), making the expression immediately comprehensible.
Etymology
Real estate broker joins real estate (land and buildings) with broker (a 'middle person' who brings buyers and sellers together). Picture someone moving between the homeowner and the buyer, holding papers and helping agree on a price—this image explains why it means 'a person licensed to help sell, buy, or rent property'.
