Just passed my Salesperson Exam in Georgia

[Aneal Khimani]

Hello all,

I've just passed my Real Estate Salesperson exam in the state if Georgia. I don't really plan on actually BEING a real estate agent per se, I just went for the license for the access to MLS, the savings in commissions and the knowledge that taking the course brings.

At any rate, I can either choose to select a sponsoring brokerage now and get my active license, or I can get an inactive license without a sponsoring brokerage.

My question is, do any of you folks have any suggestions?  Like I said, I really only wanted the license to aid me in my investment efforts.  I mean, if a friend or family member asked me to help them buy or sell a home, of course I would help them in my capacity as an agent, but I'm not changing careers to be an agent either.  I'm quite comfortable with my software development 9 - 5 gig. 

Are there brokerages out there that allow this kind of agent relationship?

Anyone have any guidance?
