Becoming an agent just to access MLS listing

[Johnny Nuchols]

Hi guys,

So I'm wanting to get my Real Estate License in January. There is a school that I will be signing up with \ that offers the required 60 hours before I can take the state exam.

My question is....Is it common to have in-active agent under Brokers. Meaning an agent who is not actively trying to list homes or sell homes but just using the MLS for there own use to find investment properties?

I know as an new agent my license has to be register with a Broker but will the Broker allow me to be in his office if I'm not actively selling homes? I know there are some agency that charge a monthly fee to their agents instead of taking a commission cut. Are there brokers that will charge me a monthly fee to access the MLS as a registered agent. I'm not looking for office space just access to information after getting my licesnce.
