New RE Associate Broker starting next week (hopefully)

[Randy Rought]

I will be taking my Colorado realtor license exam next week, and am feeling pretty hopefull that I will be passing on the first go round.

I live east of Parker, so I am considering the Parker, Castle Rock, Elizabeth, Franktown, Centennial, southern Aurora areas, and maybe even further West into the more southern region of the Denver Metro area.  I was hoping some of the RE Brokers on BP could give me some insight and pointers in picking out a brokerage to work with during my first two years. I am an older dog, and want to get on board with someone where I will learn how to do things right, and get a couple of sales under my belt. My overall goal is do residential and maybe later get into property management. 

Some articles I have read state that hooking up with a national chain-type brokerage would be the best as they have established training programs to help in getting started. Some other articles suggest getting with a smaller brokerage as you would get more hands on mentorship.  What do my fellow BP RE professionals suggest?

Start with Keller Williams. Goto their classes & get in their programs etc. Once you know what you are doing, then jump ship to a brokerage that doesn't take so much of your commissions. Good luck!
