Next steps after passing RE Salesperson exam

[Kevin Turcios]

Hi everyone. I'm an investor in Rockville MD and Pittsburgh PA and I just completed my Maryland RE salesperson exam. It was a personal goal of mine so I could check out rental properties myself without having to find an agent each time.

However, now that I passed I didn't realize some brokers have annual or monthly fees to join so I'm wondering what brokers would you guys recommend for someone in my position?

P.S. Pennsylvania offers reciprocity with Maryland so any tips on a broker that works in both states would be much appreciated.

 It's going to cost you about $3-5k per year just to maintain the license. Brokers fees, mls association dues, ce, e&o insurance etc.
