Brokerage Firm with low fees for part-time agent

Hello! I recently became a licensed agent to buy and sell my own properties here in Washington state. I have a full-time job, so only expect 1-2 transactions a year (possibly more for friends and family).

I currently hang my license at a brokerage owned by a friend, but am curious if there are other options with lower fees paid to the brokerage firm. I find that his other agents are full-time, so the commission structure, fees, and resources and tailored as such. What options are out there? Any local, part-time agents out there find a good brokerage firm they can recommend?

Thanks for your help!

@Jake Faris I was in your exact shoes 5 years ago. I chose Champions Real Estate Services. They don't have the greatest splits for brand new agents but they offer a nice mentoring program and once you have 3 deals under your belt the splits are great. Ultimately I I chose them because they offered decent splits on Property Management and I saw that as a steady stream of additional income which helped me break away from my W2 after a couple years.
