My family, do not rush to be real estate brokers or agents on your own. Yesterday in class I heard where mistakes are already happening: listing, closing of properties without proper authorizations/registrations from FIU, tax department etc. Donāt make costly mistakes that can easily be avoided for you are knowledgeable of the requirements. It is my dream to one day open a full real estate and consultancy firm but that day in not now or in 2026. I once worked with Keller Williams and now working as an agent under J. Nicole Enterpriseās umbrella. I donāt have to worry about FIU registration just yet, but the reason working under a seasoned brokerage is to continue educating myself, have proper guidance along the way until I am truly comfortable to fly. Will I give up some of my commission, Of Course, but the trade off of gaining more experience, doing right by clients, meeting more customers and getting them as clients, have more opportunity to listing and sales is worth so much more. Do the math, commissions to broker is a small fractional of increase sales. Donāt rush to be on your own if you are not ready, this is where costly mistakes will be made. Just my two centsā¦
