New Broker Questions
Hi everyone, this is my first post. I just recently passed the Washington broker's exam. I am looking into starting at a local brokerage, but am overwhelmed by the choices, and also by the to-do list of things to get started. My biggest concern, is whether or not to maintain my 9-5 right now, or to quit. I really don't have the savings to just quit for several months, so I am not really sure what to do. I would love to invest eventually, but I feel like becoming an agent would be a great start into the world of real estate. I would love any feedback or opinions from you guys :-)
