You don't want a broker yet. You first should seek a financial advisor. A broker is a salesperson who is driven by commissions and quotas, and they are often better rewarded for channelling your savings into specific funds that are mostly for the benefit of the company they work for. Find someone who gets paid for giving you sound advice, not a salesperson who wants a portion of the money they'll tell you* you'll make.
*This is the key.
