Looking for a Brokerage - Just got my Real Estate License

Rental Property Investor · Eagle, ID · Member since 2019 · 6 posts · 1 vote

Hi all, I’m Bryan and I just got my Real Estate License. Now I am on the hunt for a Broker to partner with. I’m looking for somewhere I can learn the ropes from a very successful team of people. Networking in the Treasure Valley is very important. My goal is to use the proceeds from my commissions to invest in my own rental properties. Any recommendations would be a huge help as I make my list of brokers to meet. Thanks!

Wooo! I got my license a year or so ago and at the time, interviewed with 4 brokerages in my area in the same 1-2 day span so the information stays fresh in my mind. There are lots of things to consider. But ultimately it comes down to what factors are your priorities, like is going to the office important, mentorship, commission split, brand recognition, etc. I will say that in the beginning of the real estate journey, it’s very beneficial to focus on learning and gaining experience than worry about commission splits. I went with kw, but one thing I wish I did was joining a team you vibe with or having a close mentor that is assigned to you, that way y’all fast track your learning to set up the foundation for future success. Then once you’re making lots of deals, then you’ll get an idea for what factors are important to you as well. And people change brokerages all the time so its not the end of world if you don’t end up liking the brokerage you ended up choosing!

Congrats Bryan! I would recommend KW. Obviously I am biased as I am with Keller Williams Fort Worth, TX. But their training is top notch. Truly a family feel environment. KW has a large referral network and a large networking community on FB as well. Feel free to reach out with any Q's. [email protected]

Congratulations on getting your real estate license @Bryan Dockter! Since most of us here on BP aren't familiar with 'Treasure Valley' which I assume is your local market, you may want to search other platforms for local brokerages- Obviously most here will promote the national brokerages like KW, ReMax, eXp, etc., however, those vary by location. If a local team/support is important to you, you might want to search (Google?) locally. Interview with Brokers & agents to make sure you find something that fits your needs. Generally, more 'hands on' support with training and leads is most important for new agents vs. commission splits, etc. Best of luck-
