Best brokerage to start your real estate career.
Does anybody have any advice on the best brokerage to start your real estate career at it in Seattle. I am talking in terms of resources availbile and willing people to offer initial help along the way?

Century 21 has some tremendous training - very professional and accessible. But beyond that, as @Robert E. said, it's up to your broker. I always recommend a face to face with the broker before signing on. Don't look at it like a job interview, it's not. Instead, you need to figure out whether the broker would be a good fit for you. Ask questions, listen carefully, see if you like the way they explain things, have the resources you need, etc.
One thing some brokers do is waive the monthly "desk fee" for agents if they recruit new agents. So, if some folks are excessively enthusiastic about their office, ask them if they get anything for recruiting new agents into the office. ;-)
