    @Steve Jobs Omg im so sorry, i completely forgot about this post. I will give you an update but its not a great one. I blame covid 100%. I sold 3 homes in january and havent sold anything since. This is the biggest drought in real estate i have had. I have plenty of money saved up and live with my mother still. So I was fine. Also i was able to collect Unemployment from the job i left so it kinda worked out. Again ill blame covid for the craziest market most of my fellow agents have ever seen. I am continuing to show house every day all week. I am 0-20 in my last 20 offers. my last one was 30k above asking and we still lost. This has been the story of my last 7-8 months and this week i got back surgery. so i will be out of work for 4-6 weeks. this year has been a wash. But i plan on starting a real estate photography business in the 3 months to add to my income. My mental health has gone through the roof since i left my other job. And i turned into a yes man. I book showings same day when people want to see them and my clients appreciate that. I love what i do and i will strive to make this work and so should all of you!!!!

    Thank you Chastin for giving us the REAL on this industry! As a new agenr and watching your videos I learned to tap into RENTERS, they don't promote this market as you're getting started it's all about getting a listing! And for new agents a rental transaction is key in how you are going to be dealing with other agents and all different types of people out here. I market to Renters turning them into homeowners. Thats my niche and Thank you for talking about it my 2019 is about to be🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

    Here in Canada it takes about a year to get your realtor license as it is now through a college program. So my word of advice would be to envision your first year as a realtor as the 2nd year of education. Don't be hard on yourself and quit too soon. It takes that entire first year to build up your business. Buckle down and pull through! This career path has a slow build up but exponential return.

To get the 6 figures, I worked with Buyers, and leasing all while doing locating at the same time. In order to make it you have to scale your marketing, get a coach, and a TC. You will be fine just keep at it!

Been there for almost 4 months And on my 3rd lease. And I'm looking to focus mainly on retail spaces from now on. But in terms of activities, I was mainly posting ads on social media and Craigslist. And also going to networking events here and there. In the commercial side of real estate, especially in nyc, it's harder to prospect for leads because theres not really sites like naked apartments or realtor.com that are dedicated to clients looking for spaces.

    Hello! New Subbie here! I appreciate the transparency! It’s my first year as a loan officer. Had one transaction in Jan and everything closed wonderfully , then 2 months after closing escrows increased $6000! due to flood insurance and having to deal with that and my unsupportive firm scarred me! any ways i left that horrible firm, i feel like i lost all my confidence. Anyways I’ve started somewhere else and praying I get my momentum so badly.. It would be great if companies truly would assign you a mentor for this- we would all b so much more successful 😑

    Good for you for showing how little most agents make at the beginning. And while it sounds like we make so much per transaction, people forget that we have a lot of overhead and general expenses that we have to cover too. I've been selling homes for 18 years. I make a good living, but I also work every vacation, and am available for my clients every day and even weekend evenings if it's important. I've worked holidays and cancelled trips for clients. And we don't get paid a penny until the deal closes...so often that means we did a lot of work without being paid anything. And while real estate can be a good career, it's not easy. Ever.

Being an entrepreneur means one is giving up the job "security" of a 9-5 which is still a false sense of security. 3. To be successful at ANYTHING takes a lot of work and for anyone to be naive enough to think they'll be rich after 1 month in the Real Estate industry is foolish. There is nothing in the world that doesn't take effort to accomplish but I'd sure as hell rather work on my own making peanuts for a few years before becoming wealthy rather than have someone tell me what to do for 8 hours a day or work in a coal mine.

    It sounds like your "mentor" didn't really do much for you! My mentor was a good friend of mine from high school. When I first got my license in February of 2019 he taught me the ropes of lead generation and "what to say" and "what not to say". I actually booked my first listing appointment within an hour of the first day I made calls! I too started my career with KW and as I'm sure anyone who's reading this knows, they hammer home to learn their scripts. I took BOLD, and took absolutely nothing away from it other than I felt like I didn't belong. Fast forward to October, I joined a cloud based brokerage based out of MA called Clockhouse Realty where they offered a great commission split, zero desk fees and you cap at 6k. Fast forward to my 1 year anniversary, I closed just over 2.3m in sales! For any new agents out there, just keep pushing! Call expired and cancelled listings DAILY. When you're in a store and you hear someone mention anything related to a house/condo/real estate in general; talk with them! Since my 1 year anniversary (February of this year to today) I've written just under 4.3m. Again, just keep pushing!!
