TIPS AND KEY FACTORS WHEN DECIDING WHERE TO HANG YOUR LICENSE!

[Casimiro Yulfo]

Hello! My name is Casimiro Yulfo and I recently completed all necessary requirements for Licensing in NYS. I'm starting this discussion to help myself as well as other Newbies educate themselves on when picking a Brokerage to hang your license what their business structure actually is without all of the fluff. From my own due diligence and interviewing with different brokerages I've come to realize that the business structures and profit splits along with the different fee's can either make or break your reserves(depending if you decide to make this a full time career), drive and Brand that you will be building. As commission splits, marketing assistance, training courses, desk fee's and the list goes on differs from one Brokerage to the next. I'd like to hear the beginning of everyone's story on why they started out becoming a agent, their focus when choosing a brokerage and the experiences while working there. i'd also like to hear what were your biggest challenges when starting out. I'd like this post to help myself as well as other make a decision on the different factors as these decisions are life changing. We all deserve the best opportunity to succeed!  I myself am deciding to make Real Estate a full time career and eventually start investing myself. Thank you everyone in advance for your time and input.
