Moving to Milwaukee Area - Questions about becoming RE Agent

[Account Closed]

Hi Everyone,

I have another question about my family's move back to Wisconsin in June/July of this year. I would like to become a real estate agent when we move back. I have the pre-licensing coursework on it's way to me already. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good firm to work for in the Milwaukee area? I've read a lot about looking at commission splits, but others say not to look at that and rather look at training. Still others say look for a top producing firm and find a top agent to mentor you. Does anyone have first hand experience in that area or any general tips for starting off in this career? Is it difficult to get picked up by a firm or will most places take new people and see if they work out? Anything else I might be missing?

As always, thank you all for your advice!

Conrad
