I've only had that chatty experience once. All the other times the brokers usually say "This is where I take a break and let her take over" I must just LOOK bossy! LOL. Usually, when I meet the broker I ask "Do you want to handle the presentation and have me notarize or do you want me to do what I do?" This always backs them off and sometimes it can be handy to have them there to answer questions.
My biggest problem with brokers at the table is if you are running late because of a prior closing that went over, they are all waiting on you making you look bad in the title company's eyes. The borrowers usually understand, but the broker expects you to be on time. Easier said than done at the end of the month.
