Before you spend a single dollar opening a brokerage, I want you to answer these 11 questions. Not to talk you out of it but to make sure you’re not making an expensive, avoidable mistake. I built Best Homes Real Estate from a small team to hundreds of agents and $1.5B in sales… and I still see phenomenal producers open brokerages and lose everything because they never ask the hard questions first...
