HOW TO FIND THE BEST BROKER TO WORK WITH
This is an important step when getting licensed, so we highly recommend that you do some homework and not just join a brokerage because a friend works there.  Interview at least three firms to compare commissions, training, culture and support system for newly licensed agents.   To ensure that you select the best brokerage, we've compiled a list of the 20 most important questions you should ask during the interview.
