@John MoreyI think those 3 are a bit of an apples-to-oranges comparison.Nearly every credit report uses data from all or some of the Big 3 credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian & TransUnion).Of the 3 you mentioned only one of them (as far as I know) is directly affiliated with a major credit bureau TransUnion (SmartMove).Of the 3 major credit bureaus I personally think that TransUnion has the best information, service and people in the industry.For these reasons our company decided to partner with them.  

I am not affiliated with any of them. 

I am NOT affiliated with any of them but I had good response from this company:www.melissadata.com/dm/mailing-lists/I have a list of over 100 recent cash buyers specific to zip code areas I prefer to invest in.

Welcome to BP Steven, I'm on the same path as you actually and just got licensed and affiliated with Keller Williams.

About 50x more friendlier/helpful people HERE, than Internet affiliate marketing and .com domain industry where I made all my original money.Thanks Mike.

Is there anything i need to do to make sure my license is affiliated with the new broker?

If you do recommend working as an agent, why type of broker should I affiliate myself with?

The education is good and fairly comprehensive, but they spend waaayyyy too much time trying to "encourage" you to join their affiliate program for $125 a year plus another $99 per month.
