How much does broker location matter?

[Samuel Jolicoeur]

Hey all, hope it’s been a great day for you. I’ve got a question today:

I’m about to join my first broker; I’m on the hunt this week. I live in a smaller town, Punta Gorda Florida, and I’m not far from Fort Myers / Cape Coral as well as Sarasota. I want to get the largest exposure possible of course, so I’m curious: do you all think it would make sense for me to join a broker located in one of these areas? Or does it not matter?

I especially love Sarasota and would love to be an agent working in that area.
