I am currently working for a Land Brokerage company out of Louisiana.

My background is homebuilding, land development and real estate brokerage.

Hi Everyone,I am glad I found this forum, it seems to be one of the more active ones.I come from an extensive background in Real Estate brokerage and investing (Foreclosures Fixer Uppers, Notes etc.).

Tell me about the brokerage split policies here at XXX.

For a few years I owned my own brokerage (always hired brokers, never held a RE license whild I owned a brokerage).

I know nothing about this so far which is why I am asking if anyone can help give me information for example if large brokerages work out deals with Real Estate brokers to do loans and so on ?

------------------text starts here------------------License lawsA lot of “real estate investment” techniques I hear about sound suspiciously like brokerage.

if you get your real estate license - you'll be selling other peoples property among other things - primarily representing sellers (most brokerages do).you can get your license as a sales agent - work with a good broker - learn the ropes of that business and specialize in real estate investing - networking with other investors, possibly as a buyers agent.

entering into an agency (agreement) with real estate broker that involves you as a buyer simply means that the broker is working on your behalf - meaning - you're the client and the sellers are customers.a broker or a sales agent that you enter into a buyers agency with simply give the broker of record an exclusive right to help you - you can't go off and close on real estate without them - for you, this type of arrangement is good because you have the piece of mind that the broker/agent works for you (you hope - even with agency sometimes agents get mixed up with this because it's the little things that make or break agency).as far as using an agent - they might be able to run comps for you, let you know certain things about a given area pertaining to rents, values, general info about the locale that may help you find the best for YOUR money.know this about co-ops - you're not buying real estate - you're buying shares and in return you obtain a proprietary lease to a unit which is owned by the corp.

You can get on there for a couple hundred bucks flat fee with a small brokerage, but you will still need to pay a co broker if they bring you a buyer.To sell on your own without MLS, is what I would do.
