This brokerage only charges $495 in transaction fees plus $30 broker fee… that’s it.

Coming from a marketing background observing brokerage web traffic and lead flow, it seems like many potential contacts might slip away if they don't get a quick answer.

If possible a brokerage that will support your continued education, match you up with a good mentor (someone that sells/lists a lot of properties successfully), and doesn't use you as a source of income for the firm rather than as a potential asset (a lot of agencies charge you a monthly "membership" fee for the 'privilege' of calling yourself an agent of a specific firm). 

Any agent at any brokerage can be great or terrible.

The brokerage should be very glad to have you onboard.I'm looking forward to your future posts as you share your success. 

The last thing you want is for the market to dip right before you’re ready to buy, potentially shrinking your buying power.On the other hand, if your timeline is 3 years or more, it’s reasonable to keep a portion of your savings in a taxable brokerage account to benefit from market growth but plan to gradually shift those funds into cash or safer assets as you get closer to purchasing.Key considerations:Real estate transactions move fast, and you’ll need cash available not just for the down payment, but also closing costs, reserves, and early repairs.If you sell appreciated stocks, you could face capital gains tax, especially if held less than a year (short-term capital gains are taxed at your ordinary income rate).You’re on the right path.

I was speaking with an agent last night who said that their brokerage told the property management division to get out of any contracts within the city limits.

What are some things I should know when choosing a brokerage and connecting with different people to become a successful agent.

It honestly might be easier just to buy into an existing brokerage and be a part-owner rather than an originator.
