@Tyler Stone, that's a tough one.You're basically asking a broker to take on additional liability (since anything you do in real estate could conceivably be tied to them), but offering to give them nothing in return since you're stating up front you won't be doing any listings.Your best bet is going to be networking and trying to find small/independent brokers.Anyone with a brand name, e.g., RE/Max or Keller Williams, is going to have pressure from their own management to "perform" and weed out agents who don't sell/produce enough, which means they won't even consider you if you're saying you have no intention of doing any transactions under their umbrella.I know people who have done what you describe, but they either already had a close friend who was a broker who was willing to take them on, or in one case they bit the bullet and just became a broker themselves (which is fine but is additional time and expense).
