Becoming a Realtor to Represent Yourself

[Angie DeNardo]

Hello! My name is Angie and I am a relatively new real estate investor in the Denver market. My goal is to purchase one to two properties per year likely from the MLS. I am interested in becoming a realtor, so I can represent myself. I am wondering if it would be worth my time. Does anyone know what the average commission rate is on a home sale in the Denver area including Arvada? Also if I was to become a licenses agent what would be my next steps to gain access to the MLS. In addition all agents I have worked with in the past have a transaction coordinator. If I represent myself, I assume I would need to be in charge of make sure all documents are submitted in a timely manner? At this point I would struggle to know what is required, and I am wondering if I would learn that through the training to become an agent? I would love to connect with a local investor who has taken the approach to become a realtor to represent themselves.

Thank you in advance!
