Sponsoring Broker for an Agent License
Hello all!
I am considering opening a property management company in upstate NY (placing tenants, collecting rents, etc.). To do this I will need an agent license. How do I find a broker to sponsor my license? Would a broker do this for an annual flat fee and not have a hand in the business?
Thanks
Paul

HI @Paul Rowan,
Start calling around and talking to brokers. Around here there are 491 brokers that are members if the MLS in the Rochester subboard. I'm sure you can find one that will work something out with you!
Good Luck!
