Which broker did you hang your license with?

[Dmitriy Pukhov]

Hi all,

As a newly licensed agent, I'm looking for an investor-friendly broker in MA to hang my license with. I'm not looking to practice outside of my own investing business.

If any of you keep your license only for your own investing business, which broker are you affiliated with? Any what fees do you have to pay (realtor membership, MLS, commission split, base fee)?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I have hung my license at a "Click and Mortar" Brokerage called Better Living Real Estate.  I live in Medway and invest through my family business in the RI market.  What I like the most about my Brokerage is that it is a very collegial, tech savvy Brokerage that really pushes company driven education.  Each agent can choose their level of participation.  Investors have a seperate split 80/20 for business transactions.  Every agent can buy a property for themselves or family at 80/20 and sell their own house or a family members for a transaction fee.  Investors also do a 80/20 split for sales of their own investment properties.  

No matter who you land with your experience will come down to two things. Will they train you and do they have direct experience with the types of transactions you will see. Everything else in my mind is window frosting.  

You can always jump ship to a higher commission split.  But how much will they be there to help you succeed on a dicey foreclosure closing for a 95/5 split?
