Selecting a broker

[Jason Boulay]

Earlier this year, I took my pre-license course and passed the Rhode Island salesperson exam back in May.  I have been dragging my feet since then to find a broker.  I don't know any real estate agents that could refer me to their broker.

I've worked in property management for nearly 7 years managing about 380 units and have always been interested in real estate.  My short term goal is to flip houses, so I would like to have my real estate license.  Longer term, I would like to have rental properties.  I would like to start the clock on the two year requirement to get my broker's license.  During those two years, I would be looking to sell real estate on more of a part time basis (for now).

Can anyone give me any advice on selecting a broker or refer me to one that would align with my goals?  Since I'm new, I wouldn't mind a broker that offers training classes or pairs you with an experienced agent as a mentor.

@Shane Hedeen solid advise right there, i am not a real estate agent, however I have been working with a bunch as of late trying to get a house to flip. The agencies I like are the more localized ones, Harborside realty, The actually do everything you have set in your goals (minus the bring your own broker part) and a larger one I have been working with is Matt & Chase Sotherbys real estate. Good people great personalities.

@Jason Boulay Keep going and you'll get everything you want.
