@Drew Sygit thanks for the advice. I was actually not planning on remaining a w-2 employee of theirs anymore. My wife and I are also investing in real estate and I wanted to create my own company so that I could manage my own investments as well as theirs. My area is also seeing a lot of economic growth which is bringing in outside developers so I’m noticing a need for people who can manage properties. I think going into the future I want to get my brokers license but I’m not sure. I’m also trying to get opinions from other people who do the same thing and see if they think it’s better to have your own brokers license when running a property Management company or doing it under someone else’s license.

Hi! I live in central New York and am currently working on getting my real estate license. I need help in what to look for in choosing a broker. I currently work for a family owned construction company who owns several mixed use commercial/ residential buildings. I work as a property manager for them and manage all units, 95 in total. I am pursuing my license because I want increase my knowledge and ability for leasing their units and I want to be able to sell and lease units for others. I would also be looking for a brokerage that works well with someone who would be running their own property management company on top of it. That is the other reason I am pursuing my license. I am looking for any advice anyone has in choosing a broker or if anyone has an opinion on if I should just go and pursue getting my brokers license right after the salesperson license. I believe I have enough experience built up to bypass the 2 year working under a broker requirement in my state.

Thank you
