Looking for the Right Brokerage to work for.
Hello All! I have been self employed in the Building Services business for the past 7 years. Over the past 3 years my wife and I have started purchasing rental properties, we are up to 3 now. I have just recently sold my building services business and have decided to focus on developing our rental property portfolio full time. I have decided to pursue affordable housing in the suburbs of Philadelphia, PA. I also have decided to get my real estate license to make the process of scheduling showings much easier. The question I have for you is, which agency is the right agency to work for. In other words, I don't imagine that Sothebys and other boutique agencies that sell million dollar properties would be a very good fit for what I am looking to do. I am looking to surround myself with like-minded people that work in the circles that I want to start running in. These circles are... Affordable housing in and around the Philadelphia, PA metropolitan area. Thanks! and I look forward to chatting!

I don't know much about your market, but I am really happy with the brokerage I found. I was in the same position of getting licensed primarily for my own portfolio growth. Ask about what kind of split you will have and what kind of coaching is available to you. My brokerage has the level of training and coaching of some of the larger branches but the fees are all transaction based. If you are primarily looking to work on your own portfolio, you definitely want want a large commission split or super high fees.
