Starting out as an agent
I am taking an online Pre-licensing course and I am about 2/3 of the way through it. I was just wondering if anyone has any tips on what questions to ask while trying to decide on an agency?

It depends on what your goals are and how active you want to be selling. My broker knows I’m licensed because I want to buy houses not so much sell for others. She doesn’t have a problem with it but other brokers will. When I was looking for brokers, I wrote down 5 main career goals and shared them with the broker. 4 hated my ideas 1 liked them. So I went with the one who liked my ideas. Second, your broker is your mentor/teacher, so choose wisely.
