Realtor License or NO?

I'm debating if I should go ahead and get my real estate license so I don't have to pay a commission fee to the selling agent, I know I would still have to pay the buying agent.  My agent said it would be 6% commission for the sellers which i think is crazy high.  I already took the required classes to take the exam but just haven't study.  My goal are to buy fix and flips and some fix and hold, and I don't want to have to show people houses or deal with all that stuff.  But a 6% commission fee is a lot, ideally i would want my brother to become a realtor so we can work together but he want to wait 3-5 years to save up money so we don't need to borrow or look for other partners.  What do you is the best way to become an investor and make the most money?
