Associate Broker
Business & FinanceYou've leveled up from selling houses to building a team that sells houses. You recruit, train, and mentor agents while still closing your own deals because you can't help yourself. The broker license gives you more legal authority and a bigger cut, but it also means more liability when your newest agent does something creative with a disclosure form.
