Now I am a Broker (in CA), have some basic questions!

Hi,

Some quick questions. I'm new in real estate and I just got my
California Broker's license and I have a few questions:

1. Where do I get the contract forms, such as listing agreements and
such.
2. Where and how do I get access to MLS?
3. Where and how do I get application software that corresponds with
lenders?
4. How and where do I meet lenders in order to build a relationship
with them?
5. Is there any office application software that brokers use that keeps
tract of their desk costs, trust account balances and commissions?
6. I'm thinking of setting up a sub S corporation, any ideas why that
might be a bad or good idea?
7. I am also working on getting my broker/sales person license in
Nevada and because I do not have the two years experience needed to
become a broker in Nevada, I am looking for a broker to hang my Nevada
broker/sales person license with because I have a couple of clients all
lined up to buy property in Nevada. Any reputable brokerage firms in
Nevada?

Thanks in Advance.

Regards...

If you join your local real estate board, you will let you know how to get
the contracts. Most California realtors use WinForms from the California
Association of Realtors. Also, you local board will give you the info
regarding joining the MLS, MLS key etc.

You can look in the back of Realtor magazine.

Welcome on board!

Why not just troll for them like you usually do to meet people for your
"relationships?"

Thanks, I am now connected.

Ok thanks. With some additional research, it seems like POINT is the
standard software that lenders use.

That link is no longer valid. If you have anything else, I would
appreciate it.

Thanks!

By the way, I took a look at your website and it seems like you have
what I want to establish (Broker in California and Nevada). Did you
find that the California broker exam was much harder than the Nevada
broker exam as well? However, I like the ease and timeframe of PSI
examination services. It took me 3 months to register and take the
california broker test where Nevada only took a week.
