The same qualities you would look for in a spouse...after all, it is a marriage of sorts.

training programs offered and mentoring after you've been trained....

Who has the training and systems in place to make you the best agent possible.

Honesty. People that will help, teach. train, mentor, and always put clients first ... not their greedy pockets.  

Depends on the agent. Some agents need a lot of on-going training. Others need motivation. I need a broker who can bring me great leads.

It will depends on what is most important to you as well as where you are in your career.  It's not a one-size-fits-all situation.  

Mikeal,

Make a list of what you need and want from a broker that would help you succeed.  Then interview and see if there is a fit for you.  A

 It he only interested in your commission or he wants to train you?

mikeal hurst - education and mentorship - and of course, a good split.

It depends what you need. If you are a brand new agent, you might need a very experienced mentor and a strong tech support, among many many other things.

To be honest, one thing that is important is if he/she is willing to work outside of normal hours for you.  My broker has worked some crazy hours to help me out at difficult times, and that has made a huge difference for me.

The best qualities are the ones that fit for you. Does it feel right, will the broker be there to help you, train you and what does the office environment feel like. Talk to some of the other agents that have been in the business a year or two. They can advise you.

FYI - You need to rotate your picture 90 degrees CW (or 270 CCW).

mikeal hurst Whether they have a good training and mentoring program.

What good are broker's if you cannot get a hold of them? Availability

Stick with vision.

The qualities that are important to YOU.

Good communication and support.

One that supplies the services that you need.

#1. Did they ask to see your business plan?

#2. Do they have the success history to help implement your plan.

Moral to the story: If you do nothing (no plan) they will do nothing other than toss you in the deep end and see if you learn to swim. The qualities of the broker most beneficial are directly to the qualities you demonstrate before you meet the broker.

One who is assessable, and who is a mentor

Goo  mentor.

A record of success, a professional office where you will be comfortable and many highly successful agents.

Integrity, inspiration, depth of knowledge and willingness to teach you or get someone who will.
