I worked for a smaller brokerage initially but moved to Keller when I wanted to go full time.

Welcome Joshua.I run a real estate and mortgage brokerage out of Los Angeles and would love to get in touch some time to see how I can help.

Once you've got a handle, start marketing yourself to every real estate brokerage in the area.

I've always been interested in real estate, have sold a couple of my own homes by owner, owned and managed a 24-unit apartment building with partners and own a couple of small commercial rental properties in town.Here is where I need some opinions, advice or experiences from any seasoned agents & brokers...I've spoken to two local brokerages this week about their general operations, fee and commission structure.

Not going to become "Joe Realtor" at a big brokerage, but the license will be quite valuable for our existing transactions and I think we will benefit from access to info on the MLS, etc. 

Yes, it’s listed with a licensed agent and the brokerage is well versed in moving high dollar properties in our area.

Unfortunately, PMs are so bad in Wenatchee, the owner/DB of 1 of the 4 largest brokerages here begged me to get licensed as a PM with her firm so she would have someone to recommend her clients to. 

I usually get my properties from HUD and Sallie Mae websites and use a regular real estate broker-agent.

Not a fan of CBRE or any of the really big brokerages.
