Hi @Mickayla Smith,I can't speak to your state specifically, but most states require licensed brokers (agents) to "hang" their license with a brokerage (i.e.

You need to know with deep knowledge the following:*Establishing ARVs* Estimating Repairs with a reasonable level of accuracy* Finding and vetting buyers, so you don't hang a seller out* Learning to efficiently market for properties and how to close those leads* Establishing a good reputation with buyers, so your business can scale. to name a few...If you put an effort in and ask intelligent questions, you will find more than enough people willing to answer your questions, and they won't send you an invoice for it.Don't come in asking "teach me everything you know", without showing you have put some effort into it, initially.
