Real estate agent as a social job

My wife and I are investors and flippers in real estate. We’ve been with a local RE firm for almost one year, as agents. As investors we’ve bought, fixed, sold, and kept real estate. We continue to invest, but now have gained clients looking to buy and sell that trust us based on our experience. We can take our clients through the whole process, but if we have a simple question, it’s like pulling teeth to get an answer from our broker. I’m convinced that she won’t return our phone calls, texts, or emails because we are not “regulars” in the office. I understand you get what you give, but if I have a compliance question, I expect an answer i a reasonable amount of time. Not never... Most of my questions get answered from an agent with a different brokerage; a family member who cares.

We are profitable in other businesses. RE is our creative outlet.

We have and will continue to succeed, but my question is should we continue with this brokerage?

The only benefit I see is the “cap” owed to the broker if we sell so much.
