New to real estate

[Dayton Bishop]

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?

When starting out if real estate, you pretty much have no choice but to either join a team or join a large brokerage that offers hands on training. Every team and brokerage will have different pros/cons and strengths/weaknesses. I would try to find a team that fits you and your needs. Also don't be afraid to pivot, if you start with a team and they are not fulfilling their duties switch to a new team or brokerage.
