Looking for a brokerage- Just finished the state exam
Hello BiggerPockets,
This is my first post on the site. I just finished the NYS real estate salesperson exam. I would appreciate any advice/tips on finding the best brokerages in my area(I live in Astoria Queens but am also interested in working in Manhattan). I currently work in union construction in the city but want to make the switch to real estate.
My thought process is this: google brokerages in my area. Email 15 of them and see what they all offer. Pick my favorite and start working my @ss off. Is this the right way to be thinking?
Long term plan is to be a real estate investor. I think working in the field for a couple of years should give me a big head start to be fully prepared when ready to invest my capital (especially through the all the networking).
