New Mortgage Broker needing Advice in British Columbia

[Eric Wilson]

Hi BP Community, I live in Kelowna, British Columbia and recently passed my BC Mortgage Broker exam. I'm 29 years old own a Househack. I'm currently employed as a General Manager in the Tourism Industry but looking to make the transition to becoming a full time Mortgage Broker this Winter. I have few questions as I try to navigate the industry and become successful in this new field.  

1. 1. What is the best way to get started in the industry?
2. 2. What is the best way to get hired onto a brokerage?
3. 3. What should I look for in a brokerage?
4. 4. If you're a Broker, what has been your mortgage broker journey?
5. 5. If I wanted to be successful in the industry what advice would you give me?

I appreciate any advice in advance!
