Looking for flexible broker/sponsor

[Account Closed]

Greetings!

I got my license two years ago (and recently renewed) but never attached myself to a broker. Back then, I received loads of letters in the mail but have had two newborns in the past two years so I never progressed.

So, how do I go about finding a broker that would sponsor me as a pretty part time agent? I have a close friend that is involved in property development but does not use a broker when buying properties. In the event that there is a broker for a property he's interested in, he has said I should put my license to use and he'd throw those my way as a buying agent.

I've "missed out" on 2-3 opportunities from his deals in the past year or so. Recently, he's asked me again if I found a broker as he's interested in buying a $3-5mil property that is listed with a broker.  I have a full time job now and have sporadic time outside of work to do put towards this. My interest is in the commercial area of course and I'd be learning through the deals he throws my way.

Is my only choice trying to find a local residential broker? I know most usually have loads of part-timers.

Any thoughts/comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Eric
