It would let you test some of the audacious claims of the hybrid companies (like a Compass or eXP) and see if they pack the punch they say.All in all there are lots of different options but the most important things to understand is this:  you are going to fit better with some than others, and you aren't making a life-long decision on day one. 

Working my way back down to an actionable step (ie buying my first house), and having the compass of this goal and other macro goals, pushed me to make the move.

I'm not such a big fan of the consolidation that Compass caused.

Compass and RLAH are great, but dont take part time agents, or even full time low producing agents.

Educating and putting your full attention and compassion into one goal will eventually pay off.

Our intent is to offer compassion and assistance.

If your wife is more interested in High End - look at Compass, Sotheby's Goodwin & Turnquist, etc.

I appreciate your compassion there but you could really use a few lessons in world history. 8 billion people can solve problems better than one person can solve the problems of 8 billion people.

Does their moral compass and integrity align with ours? 

Have some compassion.
