Hey @Shaun Robinson.  Matt Faircloth's, Raising Private Capital

Hey @Bakary Bojang.   I'm not knowledgeable about your area, but for a brokerage culture is important.  That word gets thrown around all the time, but it's a great start if the firm and/or team have values that align with yours.  I'd ask how meetings are run.  Are they quick and to the point, or long and drawn out.  Do you have to start in a particular area of real estate, or can you do anything you choose (buyer's agent, seller's agent, residential, commercial, investors)

On going, practical training is good as well, beyond just how to fill out a contract, use the MLS, and run comps. You'll learn and stay more engaged. What tools/platforms do they have to make you better? Ask about the CRM, as it can make your life much easier.

You'll want to ask about commissions and fee structures.  That doesn't have to be the deciding factor, but you want to know.  Shop around, ask lots of questions, and remember they need to sell themselves to you.

That's my take.  Best of luck with it.

Hey @Michael Johnson.  I'll send you a PM.

Hi @Frank Mirando.  I thought Episode 5 was quite insightful,Dealing with Death-A Financial Discussion with CFP Neal Frankle. Worth a listen for sure.

Hey @Nicolas Celle.  I'll PM you a contact that has some information about the area.
