Being a Part Time Realtor in Philadelphia
Hello BP,
Looking to become a part-time realtor in Philadelphia and I have been wondering what company would suit me best for parking my license. I am mostly looking to use it for my own deals in flips and rentals. Any suggestions?
Side note: I have realized that a lot of the bigger companies tie you down to almost work full time to make it worth it. I was wondering if there are places that didn't have unnecessary fees and allowed you to conveniently work for yourself.
Thanks in advance.

Hi John,
I’m going through the same thing now myself. Finishing up my coursework and will be taking my test soon.
I’ve read Keller Williams is great for their training programs but you may not care about that if your mostly looking to act as an agent for your own deals. From what i understand, brokerages like ReMAX have flat desk fees that might be higher but the commission split is much better.
I’m still leaening too so I’m very interested to hear what others have to say on this topic as well. Best of luck to you!
