It sounds like you had answered your question n the details of our post. The smaller brokerage with more direct and intimate connection is something that I would prefer as a new agent. That is a very personal decision.
We are in a relationship business. Having one with your office and a highly respected broker is fundamental to success.
Hope it helps and congratulations on both being an investor and now an agent in this wonderful profession.
