Finding a Broker

I’m trying to understand more about

“In any state, a real estate agent must work under the supervision of a licensed broker”

Approaching becoming a licensed real estate agent- 

How do you/ did you approach brokers? Do you only reach out to brokers hiring or big organization like KW or Compass as a newbie?


I’ve searched brokers and I’m not seeing any mentioning of how they “hire” or choose agents, should I be contacting brokers directly about working under them?

 Hi Myeasha, 

I would recommend interviewing several brokers. Look for mentorship, training, and read the fine print when it comes to splits... 

The bigger brokerages will help you establish credibility early in your career. The smaller ones will help you get the training/mentorship and attention you need starting your career
