Question about being a buyer agent and commissions

Jason Chan

Hi all, 

So I've made the move to purchase a class and will be looking to get my licenses! Super excited about this. Anyways, currently I have a full time job that pays me pretty well. I'm becoming a real estate agent to learn more about the market and for my own investing purposes, however I do have a quick question.

Let's say for example I have a few rich uncles (example) or friends that are looking to buy houses. I would like to help them find a good property and then reach out to the listing agent and hopefully earn a commission off the sale. From what I understand, I would need to be apart of a broker and they will take a cut which is fine, but since I won't be buying and selling actively, how can I approach this without having to pay heavy desk fees, but still earn a commission? I don't mind paying a small monthly fee for being apart of a brokerage, but most require you to be full time and super active or pay heavy desk fees.

Thanks all!!
