I am finishing up classes to get my real estate license and want to start looking for the right broker to jump on board with this fall BUT I'm a little confused about how to do so. I understand the difference between big and small firms and what questions to ask each firm but how do you even go about contacting each one? Do I just call up the brokerages and ask for a sit down? Do they hold open houses so you can meet the team? I obviously want to join the right one and find one that has a cohesive work environment but what is the best way to evaluate this if I don't know anyone working for the company? Help!

Just call the brokerages that you are interested in. If they want sit downs, group meetings, or whatever they will tell you. Don't reach out to the Internet to ask what those people want, ask them! :)
You don't mention what you are planning to do with your license. Do you know? If you want to manage property, get referrals from a PM meetup. If you want to work with investors go get referrals from an REI group. If you don't know what your end point it, does it matter what direction you take to get there?
