I recently left my job heading up the sales and leasing activities for an industrial developer here in the Houston area to pursue/grow my mortgage loan and land brokerage business which had reached a critical mass.  

So sorry you ran into this and had to ask.If you can document that all your contacts for the transactions were outside the current brokerage, you can ack independently - - at a cost - - you may have to defend yourself.I would seek arbitration with the State Board and go from there. 

Before connecting with a brokerage I would define your goals.

As a brokerage, I wouldn't touch this type of lie with a 10'foot pole.  

@Russell Brazil is right about checking with your brokerage.

Then into commercial brokerage where my focus is on existing multifamily properties and developing multifamily near Orlando.I've been lucky enough to work on everything from valuing theme parks to deal structuring on high-rise multifamily properties. 

I used to work in commercial brokerage so you'd think I'd just *know* it, but... that was in LA and on much bigger projects!

We both have chosen to contribute to individual 401k plan but through different brokerage firms to take advantage of different plan provisions.

You may get the promise of a great commission split at a small no name brokerage....but 95% of zero is still zero.

Property management would be the easiest, also consider getting your real estate license and working for a brokerage that primarily specializes in investment property sales.
