Investor and New Agent in California - looking for suggestions for brokerage

Member since 2024 · 1 post · 1 vote

Hi,

I have done some longer live-in flips and was the buying agent on the current one.

I am now going to be flipping (not live-in) as my main source of revenue and trying to figure out where to hang my license. 
As an agent, I only have experience with the one transaction.

So far I have looked at ExP, Realty One and ReEBroker.    Any experience with these?  Any suggestions?

Would really appreciate any feed back :)

Welcome @Staci Hill-  I’m with eXp Realty which is a great fit as an investor who likes to work independently and work across multiple geographic areas.  And as a 20+ year Broker/Realtor, it’s the absolute best career choice I’ve made.  I’ve sponsored & mentored nearly 40 agents across 10 states, including CA.  Would be happy to have a conversation!

    @Staci Hill, if you're very independent, I recommend Fathom Realty. No support from the brokerage (not really), but the costs are very low and the software is good. Plus, you pay your annual dues on your first transaction of the year -- so even if you slow down for a period, you won't be stuck with dues every month.

    Good luck!

    Best,

    Jon

    Hi Staci,

    If you don't have any plans on working as an agent for other clients, I would recommend a flat-fee broker with no commission split.

    Hi Staci, congrats on being a new agent! I have a few brokers I work with in the Inland Empire who do flat fee. Please let me know if you’re interested in speaking with them. 

    If you have any escrow questions, I’d be happy to help!

     Congrats on the license! That is great.. Well, there are many different brokerages out there, I would say just be sure to be very selective! The brokerages want you to work there, and you are the one being able to do the selecting verse the other way around like in interviewing for a job etc.

    Hi Staci, You may want to consider getting a broker's license as it would be advantageous in many ways. That is what I did years ago with no regrets:)
