Hi all!
I'm just about to take the national and state exam to obtain my PA real estate license and wanted to start getting recommendations on good brokers to get affiliated with in the Philadelphia area. Does anyone have suggestions of a broker that allowed them to hang their license for a nominal fee? My intention is to only use the real estate license for my own personal use, as a RE investor.
@Eric Lerman I dont know how they structure it over there but here it is a 55$ montly fee, 75$ each transaction, the rest of the fees are optional.
The reason I went to KW, I was at Remax, was paying ton of money each month and getting nothing, limited help, limited education.
At KW, there is a class called Ignite which is free, 12 sessions, eaxh oh them is free, also a contraracts class 3 times each month. Also, people are helpful at the office, they tell you strategies how to be better at being REA. I wasn't really interested in being an agent for others, more I learned more I changed my mind towards it.
@Noni Z. Great! I've been a Philadelphia Agent for awhile and I've worked at 3 different agencies. I'm at Keller Williams now if you want to discuss different offices.
Welcome to BP and best of luck in your licensing exams!
A great place to start is https://www.biggerpockets.com/meet which you can use to find like-minded people in your area who can may be able to answer your questions.
I just passed my exams and am currently interviewing brokers. I've come across a few people who have moved to Keller Williams from other brokerages. @Ozzy Sirimsi and @Joe White, why did you two choose Keller Williams? Where else have you worked and how is your experience different at Keller Williams? I was thinking about KW, but they seem to have a LOT of fees and expenses. I'm looking for good training and mentorship without having to give up almost everything I make in commissions, fees, etc. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

@Ozzy Sirimsi I have been with @Eric Lerman on this real estate journey and you are the 3rd person he has met that said they left Remax for KW. Both guys were with Remax for so many years before making the switch. It seems like KW is the way to go for a broker with the training classes!
