Pass RE License, now how to get MLS?

[Loren Buchanan]

Hello everyone! So, I'm looking to get my RE license in Washington State for numerous reasons; primarily I would like access to properties without having to coordinate with a Realtor. My question is, once you get your license, how do you become an official agent with access to the MLS and what is the cheapest option for paying brokerage fees?

@Loren Buchanan Loren just talk to local companies.. you will need to hang your license with a broker.. no big mystery here no need to ask this question on BP.. just walk into your local Keller williams agent C 21 Remax and ask to talk to someone about getting licensed... to my knowledge all states require new agents to work under a broker for 1 to 2 years. then they can apply and take the test to become a Broker .. or in Oregon we are all brokers but a principal broker can over see brokers.. and new brokers cannot work on their own.. Once you join a brokerage you simply join MLS pay your dues pay or board of RE dues and your good to go
