Which Size of Brokerage to Join?

[Joe Sillaman]

Aloha BP World,

I'm in the Oahu HI RE market and it's certainly tough to find deals let alone making the numbers work. Therefore I've decided I'm going to become an Agent to help save money and get direct access to the MLS. I use Realtors to assist me now but when many potential properties are taken with 1 DOM it makes it tough to jump on projects.

My question is when it comes to the Brokerage…Is is better to join a larger RE Brokerage or smaller community/neighborhood based firm? I sort of feel the general public would rather list with a Larger name company than a smaller one. Then again I work closely with another Realtor who belongs to a smaller local firm which could lead to a edge on future mentorship.

Just want to hear other Agent/Investors thoughts?

Mahalo,
