New Agent Questions
Hi all,
I’ve obtained my real estate sales license and I am looking for some guidance.
Information about me: Currently working a lot of hours on DuPont schedule (12 hour shifts rotating days and nights).
I would ideally like to work for a wholesale brokerage because I believe it would allow me learn a lot about lead generation and deal analysis. It would also allow me to work more remotely than being a residential agent.
I believe wholesalers also act as intermediaries and represent both sides - giving the brokerages more commission.
Are these assumptions correct? Have any of you been my shoes and found successes doing something similar or different? Please share your experiences!

Following this to see what you learn, because my wife and I plan to move to the Houston, Texas are soon! Thank you for the great question.
I am also new to eXp and I have really enjoyed the experience I have had with them so far. Especially for new agents, as eXp has their mentorship program, it has been so beneficial to navigating the business I am building. Best of Luck!!
