I would tell you visit all the brokerages you can and find the best fit for your needs.

I am also a realtor with Power House Property Partners a real estate brokerage and property management company located in Austin, Texas.

Putting together a buyer and seller for a fee is "practicing real estate brokerage without a license."

Your seller has to cancel her contract with the brokerage she's listed with.

I also have 5 Realtor's working in my brokerage for me.  

Harris Real Estate School has a video based program that you can watch at your own pace at one of their partner brokerage offices.  

My firm is a boutique brokerage that deals pretty much only with investors.

And while many will disagree...your broker needs to be informed of all of your real estate activities whether it runs through your brokerage or not.

The way I saw it, she's either looking for someone (or anyone) to fill a spot in her brokerage OR I made a good first impression.My question to the BP community is:How do I offer to help out and add some kind of value in exchange for some hands-on experience/education?

I would also gladly vouch for her honesty, and she values her reputation more than she values money.She's at least worth a conversation as you are interviewing prospects.Amesha has her own brokerage, affiliated with Keller Williams:Mason & Associateshttp://www.ameshamason.com/
