So you’re not a licensed agent and want to become a broker @Nolan Chandler?  Are you planning to work as a Realtor or only looking to save on commission for your personal deals?  I would register for the pre-licensing course as you’ll need to understand the basics-  otherwise you’ll need a good attorney!  Each state is different so you should be inquiring with your state RE division.

Perhaps you should have looked into this before getting licensed as now you’ll be held to a higher standard @Jose Garcia!

Well said ! 

@Adonis Covington if you have your real estate license, I would start selling so that you can save some money & then start buying properties.  Do you have a mentor? Your brokerage should be helping you to get started.  Good luck!

What market are you in @Nicholas Dale Aulby?  You should definitely hire a professional and include photos of the immediate neighborhood.  Also curious which brokerage you’re with as this is something they should guide you with.  Or perhaps you’re not an agent?  Do you have a listing agent selling a property of yours?

I wish we all the best… Perhaps you may eventually decide to get licensed.

My advice @Josh Middendorf would be to focus on what you know best, Construction, and hire a professional Realtor to handle your sales. It will end up costing you much more while trying to save on commission.

I actually never hung in there as long as @Account Closed!

Can you be more specific @Kyle Spearin as to what support you’re not getting at your current brokerage vs what you’re needing?

So if you’re looking to get new license, you would be getting your real estate license not a broker license as most states require a minimum experience of at least two years before becoming a Broker @Josh Middendorf. Why are you getting licensed if you don’t plan to sell real estate?  There are many investor-friendly brokerages out there but of course they will want to make money from their time in training they invest in you.  Many brokerages won’t take on part-time agents who aren’t committed to selling to the public so I understand your challenge. You may want to consider eXp Realty which is nationwide, but again, you would need to produce something for the Brokerage beyond your personal sales. You might also consider working referrals as many agents can make a good living just connecting buyers and sellers with other agents and taking a 25% commission split. Happy to have a conversation if you’d like further advice.  Otherwise best of luck!
