NEW AGENT LOOKING FOR BROKER ( Houston)

[Account Closed]

Hello BP family ! 

I recently passed the real estate license exam (Texas) in February and I am currently interviewing brokers , I have narrowed down to Coldwell bankers and a boutique firm ( Legacy Homes & Properties ). I have done research on Coldwell bankers and have found some things I really like as far as training , mentorship etc , but the commission split and fees that comes along with the brokerage raises an eye brow , now I understand you can't get everything you want but I am wanting to get with a brokerage that I can grow with. My only dilemma with the smaller brokerage is experience , being that the head broker has been selling real estate for 10 years , on the plus in 2018 he closed 60 transactions as an agent , seems to be a great mentor for a new agent like myself . 

Please any feedback , advice is welcomed , I am looking to sign on with a brokerage within the week .

@Account Closed. The decision is really about what you think you need or the company will provide.

Will the small boutique Broker take you under their wing and truly mentor you or is the more corporate approach of CB better for you at this time! Yes - the commission split is less and fees are probably higher with CB, but they have an established track record.

When I first stated 29 Years ago, an experienced agent gave me this bit of advice", it doesn't matter if you are with a small company or a large company, in real estate - it eventually is all up to you - you have to make it happen!"

To be successful long term - you have to create your own business. PM me off list and I'll be happy to talk.
