Good Morning Everyone!
I need some help and advice from all you pros out there. I have a full time career outside real estate but real estate has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I finally decided to follow my heart and I took all the necessary classes to qualify me to take the Broker’s exam - I have a bachelor’s degree so I didn’t need the two years sales person experience. Happily, I passed on my first attempt. But now I’m at a loss as to how to actually get started. I am extremely intelligent and hard working and I’m driven to be very, very successful (why do I suddenly feel as if I’m writing a singles ad and not a real estate forum post? Haha!). I’m not sure if I should try to go it all on my own or attempt to get a job with an established brokerage first. The whole point of getting my Broker’s license was so I could be my own boss and keep my own commissions, but now I wonder if I should get some brokerage experience first. If you do think I should sign on with a brokerage, do you have any suggestions of good ones? Any contact names? If I work for someone, I want to work for the best. What type of commission split should I expect? I am aware that this is not the best of times for the real estate profession but I feel like this is what I am truly meant to do. Thanks for taking the time to read this and for your advice.
