Small, Local Broker vs Large, National Broker?
I am interviewing brokers to make the decision around where to hang my license in a month or so. I have met with brokers from large franchises (Re/Max, KW, etc...) as well as small, local brokerages. Outside of commissions splits and desk fees, all of which I know now and can use to compare betweens brokers, What are the pros and cons of going with a large, nationally-recognized broker versus a smaller, lesser-known broker?
Does the brand recognition that the big brokers tout matter that much in the RE business?
