Good Morning from Florida!  I am sitting for SA exam in two weeks and will need a broker to "oversee" my RE work....I have a few questions that came up recently:

1. I am getting my license primarily for getting on the MLS to advance my investing career and not so much to work as a sales agent. Will a broker still be open to sponsoring me? How can I make it a win-win for the broker as well as for me as well?

2.  To all the agent-investors out there.....what are the benefits of working as an agent PT while building an investing portfolio?

TIA!!

-megan

Hi and welcome ! There are some brokers put there whose business model offers 100% commission with a flat fee per deal closed. They don't offer much when it comes to training and you'll probably be working remotely since their space is to hang shingle only. They usually are members of MLS do you can benefit from that. I am with one of the large firms that has offices all over the world and pay a monthly fee whether I close deals or not. The upside is lots of training and support and a reasonable split. Let me know if I can help.
