Broker for casual real estate investor

[Brad Wood]

I would like to take the real estate exam in DC (and maybe MD and VA) mostly for my own real estate investing. Which, at this stage is negligible but I hope to buy at least a handful of properties over the next 5 years. I'd like to have the freedom to review MLS, to save money on a potential offer and to make an offer that I think is a good deal where I don't have to worry about my agent balking at it.

That said, is there a broker in the DC area that will take you on if you are only a part-time agent mostly doing it for yourself or another alternate strategy? I may also look to represent clients in the future so I'm not ruling this out but this isn't the driving factor.

Thanks!
