New to real estate
My name is Dayton Bishop and I recently graduated high school and currently attend the college of southern Maryland. I am interested in getting my real estate license and will be getting it in February since that is the next available class. I would like to know as an agent is it better to be apart of a team of real estate agents or be your own agent. I met with an agent who has his own team and he told me all of the benefits of being on a team vs not being on a team. I don't know if he was making it out to seem better than it actually is, but it seemed pretty nice. So is it better to be on a team or not?
