I'm considering becoming an agent, but I have questions

[Victoria Barger]

Hi all,

My hubby and I are house flippers in Butler county, PA. I have considered getting my real estate license in the past, and even began the process at one time, but my program timeline expired. I'm considering restarting the process and with that, I have several questions:

If I become licensed, do I need to work for a broker in order to get the benefits from my license? For example, if I simply become licensed without working with an agency, can I have access to the mls? Can I place offers on properties? Can I sell my own properties?

If I do have to work for a broker, are there brokers out there that are willing to work with agents that are only interested in finding/selling their own investment properties?

Lastly, what real estate class/program do you recommend and why?

Thanks so much!
