New Real Estate Agent (Philadelphia/ South Jersey)

[Jessica V.]

Hello All,

Newbie to real estate here.I just passed my NJ Real Estate Exam. Looking to be  a dual agent and licensed in PA  as well but need to sign up with a broker first. Iv met with Century 21 Gold, Redfin, and 1 other local broker. Any suggestions on good brokers in the area? I am also looking to work part time for now ( Even tho I know it is frowned upon by many). Looking for good training perhaps a mentor as well. Any suggestions/tips are appreciated. :)

When it comes to Brokers it honestly depends on your personality and what you expect out of your brokerage and office manager. 

I have been with different brokerages, however, I have found most success with Berkshire Hathaway for a couple of reasons. For me, BH has the top market share in the Philadelphia suburbs based on volume and sales and to me that gets me a lot of notice w/ my marketing...I eventually am the one closing the deal, but the brand gets me to the door. 

Also Berkshire Hathaway has offices all around the Philadelphia region and offices in South Jersey. Many of the agents in my office work the Main Line and work in Margate or Ocean City down at the shore in the Summer. Let me know if you have any questions...happy to help. 

Best of Luck!
