I am an inactive broker in MS  you can say instead of a % commish you can say my commish is 5k or my commish is 10k. 

And work to learn before work to earn especially young and in a new market. if a brokerage offers the right tools to help an agent excel at selling/ listing and then also make more sales, then it would be worth choosing a brokerage that may charge more because they would make more money even paying the fee which would give them more money to invest back into RE- VS a 100% commission / flat fee or low fee brokerage that maybe they are not getting the tools they need to grow and make more sales-- so while they earn 100% commission, they still have made less than if they had paid more to brokerages  that offered the right support to help accelerate their career.I agree that people shouldn't just choose brokerages or be wary of the fee's but if it genuinely helps someone say clear 100k after splits vs making 50-60k but 100% commission that's a 40k spread or about 4-5 additional transactions for a new agent. this is obviously conjecture but i have seen it in action in the career's of others where they chose the cheapest brokerage to save more to invest, but their deal volume was low and slow in comparison to another agent i know who chose a traditional 20-30% brokerage to cap- but got the support and one buddy is still scraping by and the other friend has hit top 10 in his brokerage and i've seen the support he has gotten pay off and he's been able to take care of debt , and go on trips.. and buy his first FLIP!

You will find plenty of active (and inactive) wholesalers in attendance. 

I also tried the agent finder and only found 3 hits: 1 commerical and 2 of which seem to be inactive.

That describes me exactly- I have a full-time job and don't want to make real estate a second job, but I also don't want to use my job and life as an excuse for inaction!

Countless pubs and gurus will say the same thing; inaction will defeat your goals.  

I understand saving for a goal, just concerned that the time it will take and inaction during the saving process will contribute to cold feet.

Nah, you SHOULD be right where you are because all of the action (or inaction) you’ve ever taken has resulted in you being here, right now.

Others like to see it in action versus the two former

good ole price discovery in action!
