Should Real Estate Companies generate leads for their Brokers?

[Shane Short]

Hello everyone! 

I'm newer to the Real Estate Broker side of things, and I wanted to see what other Broker's opinions are. I see a lot of ads from brokerage companies that offer their Broker's leads. They say they have cold callers, and marketing firms that generate them leads that they provide their Brokers "More than they can handle." Sounds too good to be true... The current company I'm with does not do this at all, and I'm curious if I should be looking to make a move to a company that does? 

I've only been in the Portland area for ~3 years, so my network is still very small, which makes finding Real Estate to sell very difficult. Are the companies that are offering all these leads real, or do you think they just have hidden motives? The people I work with right now are fantastic, I'm very grateful to have them. But I would definitely love to have leads... 

Regards,
