The TRUTH About Being a Real Estate Agent: What They Don't Tell You

That’s why I’m supposed to be doing my doctors have told me I’m supposed to do menstruating for office work, not labour work

Make sure you pay your portion of taxes

You’re lucky you’re not born with a disability like a lot of us are you’re able to be in charge of your money

Please spare mind that you have people of all ages especially people with disabilities who have low paying jobs and you can’t charge much on them or you could get in big legal trouble and if there’s any damages or anything is broken or maintenance needs to be fixed or whatever or somebody gets hurt on a property it’s gonna be on you and you need to be able to pay that team to fix whatever property it is and you need to be able to pay your fines

hi I want to start soon. I will graduate highschool soon so what should I start with?

Another video said you get licensed once you get a brokerage? So the state first gives you license and then you go to a brokerage?

im looking to be agent around may next year

I am currently taking my courses and starting to get a little stressed about what is to come in the future, and although this was very realistic and didn’t necessarily calm those nerves lol it was extremely informative and I feel so much more prepared for what I’m getting myself into! I appreciate this a ton, thank you so much!!

Thank you!!
I just took the course, sending my papers off so I can take the test.
I took the course through Coldwell banker and loved their pitch.

Hello Chloe: Just want to give you some feedback. Your AUDIO is terrible. You sound like you are speaking through a pipe that is underwater. It really detracts from all your GOOD content and USEFUL advice that you give. I would advise a small lapel mike ($30-$59, Sony, Audio Tech., etc) that would make your pitch really shine. I couldn't get through your entire video because of these audio issues. I have seen thousands of presentations (live and online, Zoom, etc.). And sometimes there are excellent speakers / presenters that almost totally wreck their work with poor audio. I will try again to listen to the rest of your video after I take your audio track and filter / process it to make it listenable. Keep it going. Just fix your audio. You will see the difference.

I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for....

I retired while watching so it's a mute point!

Do I have to go under some broker if I only want to use this license to purchase my own future properties ?

Can you do a video on tips on succeeding as a first time agent and what to prepare for after passing your exam! I wasn’t aware on how costly getting into real estate it. What would you say for those starting out financially.. what’s a rough estimate of much it cost for you the first year

I would say SAVE money first! I know that sucks but my husband and I had $10,000 saved when he decided to get his license and with all the monthly expenses and realtor fees on top of that we ended up going broke. We were down to our last five dollars in our account. It was a very difficult time so much stress and so many tears. And then he finally closed his first deal six months later and that saved our butts!! … 2 years later now, I have been so inspired by him and now I’m going to get licensed soon! Really estate changed our life for sure!

Thank you!

I have a full time job but need to get into real estate. Is this possible when you work a 40 plus hour work week? I haven't heard any insight on this

This is financial advice and I never give financial advice: DONT LEAVE DURING THE BEAR. If you don’t want to invest…learn. If you don’t want to learn…build. If you don’t want to build observe. DO SOMETHING…other than leave. There is so much opportunity here. Take advantage!

All across America, real estate prep companies and brokerages are taking peoples' money, knowing full well the real estate industry is saturated with too many realtors. There are millions of agents in America, because it's so easy to get licensed. How is anyone suppose to make money in an industry like this? Moreover, the number of houses to buy and sell is significantly low and the vast majority of homes in America are poorly constructed. All the homes look the same and buyers are complaining about America's overpriced, cookie-cutter houses. Where is a realtor suppose to muster up the motivation to sell homes that are such poor quality? Realtors who earn a little money spend far more on lead generating and marketing than they get in return. I would not recommend this job to anyone who cares about an efficent use of his or her time.

aren't you the dong abuser?

Maybe I’m just slow but i have a serious question.. how would i go negative? Like what all am i going to be paying for as an agent ?

You can only go solo only after working alongside a broker for two years and then obtaining your brokers license, is that correct?

Thank you for this video!

Great information! Thank you for sharing :)

Very negative video. Do the research keep motivated.

I want some one to talk and laugh with me while showing me the house. If I come back to the house “ leave me alone “ because I’m praying 🙏🏽, I don’t make a major move without God

I’m interested in being real estate agent but I’m not good in communication and I’m not smart.

I like real estate agents tell the truth what's it's really like in the business vs video lying about how that made easy $20,000 a month without any hard realistic work.

This is exactly what I needed to see to continue my real estate journey. The first 2 years are very tough. I needed to be more self sufficient and hold myself accountable. Thank you for the words of encouragement.

❤️

Great video! The Realty Task Manager app will help too

Hands down some of the best spot on advice!

please teach me i'm a newbie thanks grandmaster teacher!!!

Don't sales real estate....I been door to door for 30 years.... You broke it down so easily.... lots of people going to learn from you congratulations

When you say you spend a lot of money when you start out, what is it on? And do you work another job within your first year since you said you could make zero. So it wouldn’t pay your bills at all in the first year?

You are such a blessing to this generation and I must confess you inspire me greatly. I kindly ask; What's your advice to us out here trying to lead good lives in 2023?

Do "leaving your expired packets" work? I'd appreciate knowing more about. Thank you

This was fantastic, thank you!

Currently I am looking for a real estate company.... I am also trying to get my license

Good video! It is a very hard career! But if you put in the time it works. On my 23rd year. So many highs and lows.

Does real estate class counts to transfer universities?

This video was so helpful!

So if I’m a real estate agent and I’m working under a brokerage already; I can use my brokerage fees +marketing fees +gas +wifi bill +new laptop 💻 as tax right offs if I create my own LLC for myself? Since technically I am running my own business?

sorry another question! in those first 30 days, did you market your real estate at first on your personal instagram/social media, or just create a new account and market that account on ur personal?

You say you have to have some money but hope much exactly is enough to do this?

It's so so so tough in the beginning in this field and I think that's why it has such a high turnover rate. But stick it through, that's when it becomes so worth it! I'm in the thick of it myself.
