Just got my real estate license.. now what!!!??

[Jeremy Lee]

Hello everyone, 

So I currently work full time and love my job. But i also love real estate. I just got my real estate license, and plan to use it in order to buy and sell my own properties, and occasionally represent a friends/family. What brokers can I work with that are agent friendly? What can I expect in terms of monthly fees? Is this smart? Any advice would be appreciated. 

Thanks,

Jeremy

@James Barnes It's smart in a sense. I met with a few brokers, and they were more looking for someone who wanted to do it full time. I think moving forward, it will be smarter for me to look into discount brokers. Someone who I can just hang my incense under as use it for what I want. As long as I am paying my dues, I should be okay. Also another idea that was brought to my attention was to find a full time agent that you can trust and work with, and when I buy or sell houses through him/her. Ask for a referral fee. This will limit some of the things I want to do (IE: access to MLS, represent myself, etc.), but just another idea/option.

I probably will be looking for that broker who is okay with me just being under them and doing my own thing. Worst case would be to just be licensed, and try to get referral fees for my purchases/sales.
