Types of NYC Brokerages

Brokerages can be broken into several different, but sometimes overlapping categories. I break down the differences and the pros and cons of each.

Evaluating Your Needs

The most important part of the entire process is evaluating what you need at this point in your business.

  • Are you a new agent tight on cash?
  • Do you thrive with structured training and support?
  • What kind of resources do you need?

You have to figure out your main needs before interviewing brokers.
