Becoming a Real Estate Broker

[Bryan Mitchell]

What would motivate some real estate agents to become real estate brokers? What are the requirements and associated costs and benefits? Do you see starting as an agent and becoming a broker as a natural progression?

@Bryan Mitchell Keep in mind there is an intermediate step that agents can choose before becoming a broker and that's start and lead an agent team.  And many team leads find that under a favorable brokerage, they can focus on supporting their team by focusing on lead generation and production, rather than all the fun "extras" that come with being the broker (liability, tools, training, mentorship, yatta yatta).  So they just build a team rather than become a broker.  

Just something to keep in mind!
