Getting My Real Estate License - Choosing A Brokerage
Hello everyone!
I hope you're all keeping sane in this pandemic we're in.
I am working on getting my real estate license, and at first I was deciding between doing commercial and residential. I came to my decision of doing residential and want to focus on luxury real estate for many reasons.
As I am meeting with several brokerages I'm struggling to figure out which to place my license. I've narrowed it down to 3: Berkshire Hathaway, Keller Williams, Signature Real Estate (This last one is only in Las Vegas and here, they are fee based but also offer great training for newbies)
With my intensions of focusing on luxury homes, I worry about working with a smaller brokerage (Signature). Being able to brand myself and build a team in the future, great training, culture, and ability to have control of growing my business is big for me.
I would love any feedback from someone who has worked with any of these brokerages and/or does luxury homes.
Thank you for any and all feedback!!

Hi Brittany, I’m with Berkshire and they had a great training program all online on zoom and if you complete the program within a year, you’r commission % increases. I would give them a look. They’re not the main broker locally, but they’re bigger nationally and have a good image IMO.
Good luck!

eXp Realty is great and has lots of training and support and
very low fees. You start at 80% commission and you have the opportunity
to get all the commission you paid the company back in the form of
stock. One thing I've noticed during all this is that it really helps
when we are all working from home to be with a company that is built to
be able to run your entire business online and from home. I can give you
a guest pass to our virtual office if you'd like. You can check out
everything in there and even attend any of the training courses we have
going on. We do about 40-60 hours of training a week and it's free to
check out.
