Independent Broker to Franchise, Boutique or Established Firm? Looking for input
I am a commercial real estate broker and have always been independent. My focus has mainly been development and consulting... brokerage on side (lack of better word)... So I have the education, experience and licensing as a broker but I don't have the network, leads, etc that a bigger firm would have.

I am wanting to expand on the brokerage... So I see my best route is to join an established firm and/or franchise (even though I have broker license and do not need a sponsor) and possibly one that my experience in development would be of use. 

I know this is the reverse of what a lot of brokers do which is start out as an agent, join a franchise broker to sponsor license, get experience, eventually meet requirements to be a broker, then leave franchise etc and start own firm. 

Anyone face similar situation? 

Recommendations?
