Companies/Brokers to Start out with in the Phoenix area
Hi I just recently acquired my RE license in Arizona. I am currently looking for a broker/company to hang my license with. I wanted to know if anyone has any recommendations for places I can start interviewing to see which is the best fit whether it is a smaller brokerage or a big company brokerage. My goals in my career are to be a successful agent first and earn some capital as an agent so that I can use that money and experience toward making investments whether it is through rental properties or flipping projects. I also want to eventually become an investor-friendly agent and build relationships with other investors in the area and assist them in their transactions. I want to find a place where I can learn the business and become a successful agent. I just turned 27 years old, am not married and have no kids and have the ability to really go all-in. Any advice would be helpful

I went through the same thing last year. I started looking at all the local brokers by first searching online. A lot of them give details on what they offer their agents, i.e. commission structure, training, and other agent support/benefit information right on their websites.
Ultimately you have to go with the one you feel comfortable with and offers you the right level of support. Also, search online for Independent Contractor Agreements, as some agencies have the broker/agent agreement online which further details the association between you and your broker. Some agencies offer broad real estate service, i.e. residential, commercial, land, and property management, while others might offer less.
Keep in mind that having an agency whose office is close can be very convenient. Don't be afraid to reach out to agencies and interview them on what they offer and why you should work for them. If you know any agents ask them as well, get their insight. You can see below who I went with, so you know where I stand. Good luck, stay dedicated, and enjoy the journey....
