Haydee,
There are many benefits to working under a broker. That said I went out on my own as soon as I could and prefer it.

HAYDEE Ewing I've had a broker's license forever. True or not, I believe the general public associates more creditability with a broker.

In Colorado you go straight to being a broker when you get your license. You have to work under the close supervision of a managing/employing broker for two years before you can go out on your own.

I'm enjoying being a realtor, but I'm looking to become a broker ASAP. We're a small family firm, so it's more for succession planning then anything else.
