Episode Summary:
In this episode of Real Talk with Andres & Heather, we dive into the pros and cons of getting your brokerage license in real estate. Is it worth the extra time, cost, and responsibility—or can you build just as much success without it?

We share our personal experiences, the vision behind growing bilingual real estate teams, and how owning vs. joining a brokerage can impact your long-term business and exit strategy. Plus, we discuss branding, compliance, overhead, and what it really takes to succeed at the broker level.
