Vancouver (WA) Members! Investor/Broker? Who do you work for?

[Charlie Kazmar]

I’m a small time investor (SFRs and Duplexes) who just passed the WA Brokers Exam. I’m looking for a local brokerage to hang my license on and I was hoping the BP community could provide some recommendations.

My preference is to hang my license at a brokerage where other investors are located. This way I would be working with like-minded individuals rather than a more typical setup at a big firm full of non investors. Since I’ll be a new licensee, I’ll have to work under the supervision of a managing broker and again this person would ideally be an active investor himself. Fee structures, training programs and other tools are secondary in importance to me.

What does everybody think? Does this kind of brokerage exist in Vancouver?

I would love to hear what brokerage you work for. Would you recommend them to another investor?

Are there any other brokerages you’ve heard positive feedback on?

Also, I’ve been a long time observer on these forums and I’ve decided now is the time to start being an active member. This is my first post but hopefully I’ll start finding other topics that I can contribute to as well.

Thank you in advance for reading my request and I look forward to talking with you all more often.
