Brokerage investor friendly recommendation Around St. Louis, MO?

[Raad Qumsieh]

Any recommendations for an investor friendly brokerage around the St. Louis Missouri area? I got my real estate license 2 months ago and I'm not sure where to place it and what charges should I expect from local brokers? I'm afraid of being ripped off just because I'm not sure what to expect. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Raad

Raad, I'm a St Louis buy & hold investor who decided to get their license (if I help other people buy property I won't take on too many projects myself, plus I love all of the data on the MLS) and had this question as well. @Mackal Smith already mentioned SSIC and Nick Bauer - excellent resources. 

Before I'd try to recommend brokers I'd ask what you want to do with your license.  Are you looking to make purchases yourself or for other investors?  Do you want a brokerage that lets you do your thing or one that provides mentorship, classes, and systems for you to use. Regardless of what you want to do I recommend sitting down with multiple brokers and asking lots of questions.  You should get a feel of the office and whether it's a good fit.  Whatever you do, make sure to ask about the fine print and what's required (classes, marketing materials) for new agents along with any associated costs.
