Becoming an independent real estate agent in Colorado

[Devin Martinez]

My wife is looking to get her real estate license in Colorado. One requirement for licenses in Colorado is that you have to work under a broker or "hang your card" in a brokers office for at least 2 years after receiving your license.  This may or may not including paying fees to the broker, 50/50 commission splits, etc.

Does any one know how, or what can be done in order to get around this?  She would like to be an independent broker and just work our own deals.  Currently she is working full time and has no intention of making being a real estate agent her career.
