Recommended Managing Broker in Chicago : Preparing for Real Estate License

Greetings BP members,

Currently, I am in the midst of acquiring my Illinois Real Estate Agent license and am situated in the Lincoln Park region of Chicago. My past experience encompasses SFH flips and a history of military service.

As a new agent, I am looking for counsel and suggestions on which Managing Broker to join in order to enhance my education and progression in the real estate sector. Additionally, I am interested in continuing to acquire rental properties and participate in flips.

Thank you in advance

Ashwin

    Hi @Ashwin Abichandani

    Great to see you here, it's been a minute since we last connected. :) I'm a licensed agent and hang my license with Greystone Realty. Greystone is a newer, boutique, investor driven agency founded by a local broker / real estate investor formerly with Kale. What I love about Greystone is EVERY agent is an investor first, then an agent. I got my license to be able to wholesale legally and buy/sell my own developments and save on the commission. I wasn't looking to pay a monthly desk fee--and was in search of a place that fostered community, personal growth and self development, and outstanding mentorship and guidance. Greystone was, and is, the clear winner for me on all accounts. If you're interested in connecting with the owner, please feel free to message me. Whatever you decide, I recommend interviewing a few brokerages to find the perfect fit. Good luck! :)
