Southern California Brokers/Agents & General Advice

[Taylor Lombardo]

Good morning BP,

I recently passed the CA real estate license exam (woo!) and am looking for a place to hang my license and work with a reputable team. I've received all kinds of different advice on how to start so I would love to know:

1) How did you get started as a new agent and if you could go back and do something differently, would you? 

2) Some recommendations for great brokers/agents in this area that I could reach out to and learn from.

Just a little about me; I was born and raised in Southern California (Hermosa, Redondo, Torrance area) and have experience as a leasing agent at a property management company for the last 7 months.

Thank you!
