I am mostly concerned with name recognition and costs associated with being a part of the company. I am in Michigan, I realize that I will have to pay MAR and NAR dues, along with the local real estate boards and for any electronic lock boxes. I am looking for an office that pays for signs, and cards and maybe some co-op advertising. I have been licensed since 1997 and I am very knowledgeable about real estate. I have previously been with both REMAX and Coldwell Banker. My father is an agent with Greenridge. I do not like their fees. Any first hand experience or advice would be helpfull. Thanks
