Someone who is accessible,  and willing and able to provide training and mentoring. And someone who fits with your expectations about what you want and need, and someone you like!

Ryan Huggins - Thousand Oaks, CA nailed this one!

Asking a student question as anonymous is a violation of the active rain rules.

It depends and will vary based on your experience.  Regardless of those two factors, honesty and reputation are always important.  

Great answers you got for your question.

Alex, I'll take "Questions asked by Anonymous" for 200, please.

Must have a name, preferably Bob

Jeff did a great job in answering.

Select the office that will best meet your personal needs.

I'm with Jeff Dowler and Michael Jacobs 

Who is asking, please?

one who is able to teach

A non-competing broker

Knowledge, trustworthiness, of good reputation and willing to help you get started in your career with good training.

training first....and then mentoring after you're trained....

What Jeff Dowler said.

Being available and knowing what they are talking about. Start with that

Overall, it has to be a good fit with the broker and the culture of the office.

One that will be a mentor as well as a broker

Rapport with a broker who has a good mentoring and training program.

How's school?

Do you own a home?

What's your name?

Qualities? That is for the armatures. How are you, as a naive, newly liscensed,  real estate agent going to judge the Qualities of the one across the desk who has made deception a form of art. (the real intention is to throw you into the deep end and watch as you sink or swim)

So. Your evaluation MUST be objective not subjective. Otherwise you WILL join the 90% who never see their 2nd year anniversary and have contributed $12,000 to those who project 'qualites' you like.

What are you looking for in a broker?

Brilliance.

Asked and answered dozens of times in the last couple of months. Try and do some research on past questions and answers. Why are you anonymous and why are you posting so many questions? Have you fallen behind in your homework?

Education, Training, Mentorship and then split!

Your needs will change throughout your career.

In the beginning, training and mentoring.

It depends on what your personal needs are.  Ethical and experienced is good.

An ethical broker provide good training.

One who provides the services you need.

I feel there are two things that make a good broker, training and mentoring.
