Boards \ MLS's in Florida for a new agent
Hi guys
So I am a new sales associate (agent) in Florida, and I have an issue I would like to solve in the best way.
I aim is to cover few different areas in Florida (I am working with foreign investors)
The areas would be : Miami, Sarasota, Jacksonville, Tampa, Ocala.
I am interested to be working with one of the "100% Commision - Flat fee" Brokers (such as: Charles Rutenberg)
My issue is: As I understood, each Broker works with a different board\association, which does not allow him\me to connect to all listed above MLS's.
I also understood that there's something refer to a "primary board".
Can someone please clarify, what steps should I make in order to get connected to all of these MLS's? (I am aware of the costs involved).
plus, how does NAR involved in this issue? Am I obligated to subscribe to NAR? What benefits do I get from it? Should I subscribe to NAR before subscribing to the Broker\MLS?
Thanks A lot
