I have my license. Now what?

I live in San Diego, Ca. I'm currently trying to find the best Real Estate Agency to join. Any suggestions for a newbie that plans on being in the business part time? Selling and investing are my interests.

@Monica Taylor Keller Williams is probably good from a training standpoint just not sure how their current pricing structure will work for a part time Agent.

There can be a different office dynamic just going from one office to the next even within the same franchise. A great office manager can make all the difference for a new agent.

Definitely interview multiple offices and ask them what they are going to do to get you (a new agent) up and running. Just remember, that being a real estate agent is similar to real estate investing. Without leads you will have no business. You need Motivated Buyers that you can show houses to and motivated Sellers that you can apply for the job of Selling their home. Since you mentioned that you want to be involved with REI, also make sure the office that you choose works well with your plans.
