Do I have to register with a broker if I want to get my real estate license?

[Toby Fellows]

looking for Some advice. Like many investors I'm looking to get my real estate license to help speed up gettong access to, view properties on my schedule, have access to the mls etc. From what I've read The Georgia Real Estate Commission requires that a broker sponsors you before you can apply for/reciece your license. Is this correct? and if so I have a few Questions.

1. What broker would sponsor me considering I'm not intending to become a full time Realtor and give them regular business?

2. If I act as my own realtor and end up purchasing a property and receive a commission does the broker I'm affiliated with get a piece of that? its fine if they do as its not my main motivation for getting my licence but keen to understand how it all works.

Any advice from someone who's done this already would be appreciated.

Thanks
