There are plenty of agents here on the site. I would say ask yourself, what makes you stand out to the agent for them to work with you?

Hi Nick Rudnev you are smart to analyze your options and ask for advice. There are so many brokers offering varying models, it really comes down to what your needs are. Are you looking for a brand? Do you want someone that knows the business and will teach you the ins and outs? Are you looking for a good commission structure? Do you want to receive company leads? How will you sustain your business? What marketing tools will you use? Who will teach you the do's and dont's? All things to consider. Happy to tell you my experiences, I moved brokerages this January, definitely learned that choosing the right brokerage is key the hard way!

Christian B Powe there are contractors and appraisals on the site, but your best bet is to find a referral through someone else. The best contractors don't waste their time online like those of us in sales and marketing do :)

Keith Winkelman welcome to BP, it's great to have you! Have you attended any local meetups in the area?

Edi H. Welcome to the site! Hope to network at a local REIA!

Excited for the new lead program! See you there.

Any of the lead generation tools will fall short of you creating your own tool. The customization isn't there. If you're determined to pay for a lead gen tool, shop around there are so many to choose from.

Welcome Jean Nicolas hope to see you at one of the local meetup groups. It's always nice to meet new people with varying experiences.

Brandon L. I have a small group of newbie agents and newbie investors. We have a shared google drive where we share resources. We meetup individually or at local meet ups. Also, I'm on the Board of our Young Professionals Network at our Realtor association. All new/young agents, we get together for trainings and happy hours, Nats games, etc.
