The simple truth is that all brokerages are not alike, and finding an environment and support structure that is a good fit for you is crucial to your success in this business.

We always encourage people considering stepping into a career in real estate to meet with multiple brokers to get a better understanding of the different options available to them.

Some of the biggest details you will want to understand about a potential brokerage partnership are the ones often overlooked. So here are a few areas you will want to understand about a brokerage before deciding who is the right partner for your journey:

1. Coaching And Training - As a new agent, you will need a comprehensive training program to help you learn the ins and outs of the business.

2. Support and Services - Whereas some brokerages provide end to end business support and solutions for their agents, others provide a more virtual plug and play approach. You will want to decide how much support you need to flourish.

3. Market Share - Bigger is not always better, but it is important to understand a brokerages footprint in the local market

4. Reputation - Asking friends, family, and even industry professionals like lenders about the differences between brokers can be helpful.

5. Culture- the most important factor. What is a brokerage's collective personality? How do agents and staff like working there? Is the team vision and mission something you buy into?

Taking the time to interview several local brokers and various offices, but also agents in the community, and friends and family is an investment you won’t regret before making this important commitment.
