2.5 years.  I have learned long time ago you do not marry into same brokerage or employer.

1 How many leads are resulted from your current brokerage last 3 years?

2 Does your brokerage has stock, ownership option free to you?

3 Do they have a 401K plan for you?

If the ans is no.  Look around.

Not really, When I first got licensed Dad thought it would be best to work under some one else for my first year. I worked at Heritage Realty in Colorado Springs for that year.
