Chosing a brokerage in orange county

[Michael Hallahan]

Hello All!

I recently passed the real estate exam and just sent in my fee to apply for the license. I want to use my license to find rundown/distressed properties(driving for dollars, direct mail) to sell to flippers, so that I can learn that business and eventually start doing flips on my own. I am not sure what type of brokerage would best suit my needs. Would I be better off starting off at a traditional brokerage to benefit from the training they offer? Or should I look for a brokerage that is more geared to the types of transaction I want to do. To be honest, working with retail buyers does not appear appealing to me. Does anybody have suggestions for brokerages I should interview with? Thank You!

@Michael Hallahan  I think I caught your specific goals. If you are going to look for possible flips then I would concentrate on finding a great mentor. Someone who has been in the business for a long time and IS currently ACTIVE. A mentor who is willing to teach you what you want to learn and is available for you. The Realtor training is important but there are classes for that. Interview with a few and see what best fits your needs. 

We are always looking for good agents and our brokerage focuses on the investor. Let me know and we can discuss over a cup of coffee. 

Good investing.
