Affiliating with a Non-Realtor Brokerage - Maryland

[Justin J.]

Hi fellow BP RE agents,

I moved to Maryland a year ago and will take the state portion of the Salesperson's exam in the next two weeks. That said, my initial goal when getting my RE Salespersons license was to save money on the buyer's commission when buying my first primary residence. I'm looking for a Brokerage that isn't affiliated with the NAR. It seems like it's very difficult to find a broker who isn't also a Realtor in MD. I was an active RE salesperson while living in MA and also a member of the NAR and local boards so I know the value and benefits of being a Realtor.

However, at this time I don't need access to the MLS nor do I need to be a member of the NAR for at least this next year or two, does anyone know of any non-Realtor Brokers that I can look at affiliating with?

Cheers,

-Justin
