New Agent Finding a Broker

[Bryan Dumesnil]

Hello everyone,

I have just completed the real estate salesperson course in my state and I will be taking my exam soon. I'm trying to get everything in order with a broker so that my license will be in order after taking the exam. I'm mainly interested in just having access to the MLS at this time. I currently have a full time job and do plan on making a few sales a year, but I would be limited on the time that I can spend completing those sales. I'm looking for a broker that can give me some freedom and I'm pretty confused when it comes to finding one. Please let me know if anyone can suggest any brokers that can offer this.

Also, I would like to know the proper way to make this request. For example, should I be straight forward in letting the broker know what I plan to do? I would rather not insult anyone by making these types of requests.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hey @Bryan Dumesnil 

Hope you're doing the best you possibly can during these times. When it comes to finding a brokerage that is perfect for part time agents, you want to look for a company that will treat you as an independent contractor/business rather one that sees you as an employee. 

There are plenty of brokers out there that will be happy to sponsor a part time agent and even offer benefits to agents who do their own investment or personal transactions. I personally recommend you looking into eXp Realty, they give their agents a lot of flexibility and even allow you to keep 100% on 3 personal transactions every anniversary year. 

Hope I could help and goodluck on your exam!
