What Fred Griffin said. This question seems to be asked and answered on a daily basis. But for me, after 25 years in the business, I don't need a relationship with a principal broker. All I want is someone who is honest and trustworthy and available in the event I have a question or issue.

It is important to get a good start and that means mentoring or training. Be sure to ask what those options are. If you don't know what to do, the chances of failure are greater.

I would suggest that you interview as many brokers as you can. Write what's important to you and don't be afraid to ask questions.

Getting started is the key. It changes the way you think followed by the way you act. Any Broker will do. In time you will know all about Brokers. Keep in mind that in this business agents tend to be their own boss

The broker should offer LOTS of education, and be available when you need them.

Hi Brian,
Your question has been asked a few times in the past - so I thought I'd share some past Q&A threads with you (there are many answers to peruse):
- What qualities are important when looking for a broker to work for?
- Just getting started in a career in Real Estate. How should I go about looking/choosing/applying for my first broker to work for?
- What qualities are important too look for when choosing a broker to work for?
- What qualities are important to look for when choosing a broker to work for? #2
- What should I be looking for in an employing broker?
Hope those help. Have a great day, and best of luck in pursuing and securing your license!

The best advice I can give you is to learn to do independent research. This very same question has been asked here by the likes of you at least several dozen times, so look it up! If you continue to ask repetitive questions, you will get nasty comments from some of the members.

The relationship is crucial. Unfortunately, you won't really know about that relationship until after you get married. The extraction becomes very costly.
My advise is abandon those efforts to assess soft attributes in the selection of a broker. You can not measure trust, efficiency, dedication, training, compensation, culture and relationship while seated in the office with the broker. All you can do is take measure of the sweetness of the words.
Sweet word quickly turn bitter in the presence of disappointment.
Your duties are:
1. Have your real estate agent business plan completed.
2. Ask the broker the only two questions for which you need data.
3. Based on that data, you can derive the FACTS regarding all aspects of the broker office.
4. Be the CEO of your real estate business and let the facts guide your decisions.

Interview at least 3 brokers. As a new agent, training should be a top priority. Make sure you go with someone who is ethical and has a good reputation. From there, look at your personal needs.
