Currently in RE School... SA/NB Real Estate Brokerage Feedback

[Chelsea Blandford]

Hi Everyone!  I'm currently in school for my real estate license at Champions.  I'm in the San Antonio/New Braunfels area and presume to complete coursework at the end of March.  I've been doing a lot of research on brokerages and two really stick out to me, Keller Williams & eXp.  Keller Williams seems to be a great place for a newly licensed person providing a lot of training and guidance.  eXp seems to be a next level type of real estate that has a little more freedom, but I don't know if this would be the best fit starting out (possibly this would be a better place for agents that already have some experience?).  I do not want or expect anyone to hold my hand, but I do want to create a really great foundation of learning, mentorship, and experience.  I am extremely open to other brokerages as well; these two just "stuck out" to me so far.  

I would LOVE any feedback you have!  What is your experience at brokerages in the area?  Which brokerages are know to be geared in a particular direction, etc?  Is there a particular brokerage that tends to be better for agents just starting out?  Give me all the details... good, bad, and ugly!  Thank you so much!
