I'm a new broker entering the Chicago market and trying to figure out the best brokerage/team ft before jumping in.

I'm especially curious about.

. Zillow Flex teams

. mentorship-heavy eXp teams

• boutique brokerages

•and places that are supportive of personal branding/content creation.

For those already in Chicago real estate:

• Where would you start if you were brand new today?

• Which brokerages actually train?

Any teams/ offices that are hidden gems?

Appreciate any advice. Trying to make a smart long-term decision instead of chasing hype.

Thanks!
