Learn how to start and grow your career as a Real Estate Agent, how to best build your network of clients, expand into luxury markets, and the exact steps I’ve used to grow my business from $0 to over $120 million in sales: $50 off with code ThankYou50 for a limited time: goo.gl/UFpi4c
This story really hits home to me. I wasn't quite as young when I started at 22, but I felt so defeated whenever someone asked my age. It always felt like that was their way of discrediting me. One of my best clients, to this day, had bought a $700k home through me on about my 14th month into real estate. They believed in me and gave me a chance I desperately needed. I'm so grateful for that opportunity because that was my eye opening experience that I could do this! Great to hear your story as well!
What a baller - starting with $3.5 million deals! Such a great backstory - getting results took 10 months of grinding, and shadowing someone who was already successful. It's starting to sound cliche, but having a mentor (and working your ass off) is the absolute key to success.
Dude I’m not even a week into being an agent and I’m already stressing that I suck, but hearing that Graham say it took him 10 months eases me down a little
25 years old starting late but I know a lot of rich people who do this and are willing to show me the ropes pretty excited just working on trying to get my License u are the man I have to say thank you
this is so encouraging. I am 2 months into Real Estate in the Northern NJ market (Bergen and Hudson County) and i am trying to jump right into the luxury market, like you did. i have so many people telling me i have to start smaller but like you i dont want to. i needed this
This video made me cry. I'm so proud of you man! Well done. You were working hard and the buyer could tell that you had the willingness to help yourself.
I’m studying real estate right now and watching this gives me hope that I have a chance of being successful in the field. Thank you for the video’s Graham!
I hope you know how powerful and inspiring this video is. I take my state exam July 17th and you have really motivated me on another level. Thank you ✨
I've watched this video maybe 5 times already. It's so inspiring since I'm starting so young and getting a lot of resistance. Not feeling the greatest right now, but you always give me so much hope. Starting at eXp Realty this week. Thanks for being awesome Graham
i got my first listing agreement less than a month in the business...and i turned 18 four months ago. i know that feeling of confidence. it feels great!
What an inspiring video man. Its funny I'm actually in the same exact shoes. I ran into someone and the offered to mentor me for free because i bought them dinner. Little did i know she made over 500k last year in Realestate. I told her about the business i started and she was baffled and happy for me and now we work together. Still need a 3M house to sell though haha.
Awesome video - it's always great learning people's backstory. 100% Agree - most successful people are happy to see others succeed. If you're young and hungry, a lot of more experienced people will project their former selves upon you and be more than happy to pay it forward by giving you a chance or take you under their wing to mentor you. If you're constantly putting in the work - you'll eventually get 'lucky'.
I totally agree. The most successful people I see just want others to succeed - it's only the ones that are stuck in this finite scarcity mindset that end up discouraging other people, as though the other person is taking away from the "limited" amount of business out there, which isn't the case at all - plenty to go around for everyone.
Graham talking about how excited he was for 70k subs is so wholesome. Also, just get my New Jersey real estate license. Our homes aren't nearly as expensive as California, but I'm committed to selling every single one of them!
My hat is tipped to Coldwell Banker and yourself for taking the opportunity presented to you.Few in my age group,a lot older than you,give the youngsters a chance,it is vital that we do so.
Very inspirational! The key was that u showed up Tuesday and Saturday for those open houses for 10 months! You didn’t quit so you become unstoppable. I have to remember that. Thank you for sharing.
It makes me happy to know that there are genuine, kind people who care about young people who are really working hard and following their dreams. I'm 18 years old and I am pursuing Realestate and investments. Videos such as these motivate me so much more. Thank you, Mr.Stephan. ×1000000
Had to pause the video at 3:12, dude thank you for sharing this. I had the exact same experience with people saying ohh your too young and not experienced. After hearing that a couple times i just got over it and honestly that pushed me to want to be that much better.
I love this so much ! It gives me so much confidence to go for it ! Your story sounds so much like mine. I am currently helping out my parents trying to buy their first home ! I am in the middle of their paper work. I am 18, and. I am looking forward to being in the real estate
Hi, I just turned 18 and am about to finish my pre-licensing course. I am near Naples FL where houses go from 1-30 million. Before watching this video I was nervous to go to open houses and meet the realtors that are the successful ones in the area. But now I'm not and am going to the next open house I can find to introduce myself. Thank you for the motivation and wish me luck Graham.
In my opinion maybe your mentor understood that you felt you had no other choice(not being accepted into colleges) and that would be your driving force into becoming successful. Either way it was somewhat lucky to find a mentor that would believe in you and show you down the path, but it was still ultimately up to you to do the work to get there. Much respect chum! Don't stop now :)
Thanks so much man! I agree, luck was a big component but I wouldn't have been lucky if I didn't stick with it going to open houses. So maybe you create your own luck :)
Thanks for the motivation Graham! Im 16 looking to go into real-estate once i graduate highschool and have been doing things such as buying and fixing/selling bikes and motorcycles (a hobby i have) to learn more about the sales industry. Very excited to get into the business and your channel really motivates me even more. Thanks again, congrats on 70k, keep up the great content!
Bro.. I love your shit. I just stumbled upon your videos - I started 5 months ago and haven't made a sale yet, a part of me always felt my age was a bit of a disadvantage as well. I just turned 27 years old. Hearing your testimonial really helped me boost back up my confidence! Thank you for the great content. - also, when you lied about your age and said you were 19 instead of 18 cracked me up LOL
Great story sharing your experience. This is why I’m subscribed to your channel. I always enjoy your videos and your motivation each and every time. Much success to you.
Hey Graham, I went through the same exact thing. I talked to one of my best friends neighbors because he is a realtor. I asked him all these question and then it got to my age he knew I was young and he turned me down he said that I was 19 and I will have no people trusting me with anything and that I will not make any money. After seeing this video you gave me some confidence that it is possible. Thank you!
Graham this reminds me of walking an open house last week.. I've been crashing them like crazy every weekend to meet the agents and study the market in preparation to buy my first place, and become an income property investor. There was this fresh-out-of-school looking young lady shadowing the listing agent and when I mentioned the musty smell coming from the basement that you couldn't even miss from the landing, she giggled and said "oh, someone will love it' or somthing to that effect. Oh honey... nobody loves that smell. I just wanted to sit her down and be like no girrrrrrrrrrrrl you gotta learn how to identify and mitigate moisture problems and stage a home, cos the realtors who DO know that will eat you alive and get the savvy clients and nice listings.. she was terrible but it was 100% for being brand new and I felt compelled to help her. I could so see myself becoming a real estate agent. XD
Man you are so positive I want to do real esate also people also tell me real estate is dangerous but I say I want to do it I am 18 once I am done I will do my best in Real Estate
Definitely agree Graham. It doesn’t matter how young you are. If you act confident and professional and you know what your taking about, people will assume that you have experience and if you are say 18 they will just assume that you are like 23 and look young.
Thank you for your amazing videos!! Just became an agent about a month ago. Definitely look forward to being an agent and investing in real estate eventually!
Your videos have really inspired me to grind. Im in currently in college and I'm hoping to get out and invest in real estate. Thank you so much for telling your story!
This is such a great video. It was cool to hear about how you started but the core of your message can be applied to almost any profession. So much of what you said reminded me of my journey as a teacher. Congrats on your success!!
Hi, I’m think to do the Real State clases next month and get the license. So, I had the idea to watching a videos about and I loved to find your videos here. You are really good and I like the way you talk about the job. You gived me motivation and hope! Thank you so much 😊🙏🏻
It sounds like you were putting yourself out into the universe and the universe in exchange was working with you! Props to you for pushing through all the negative and discouraging noise in your first year. Great story. When did you tell them this was your first sale? 😊
I hear you on that. It's weird, for me some days I LOVE filming and editing something, other days I can't even force myself to record or edit. Gotta run with it those days where you been inspired to do something!
Great video as always! You're a huge inspiration for me. I got my NY State license about three months ago and sold my first home after the second month.
You are a good example to young and older people. To make the right choices how to manage their money. I made my son view your videos he is 20 years old so he could learn from you.
I didn’t find a video on you saying if we should initially join a team or go solo. I am still in high school but one of the most determined people you could imagine. I get out of school in less than a month I loathe the 9-5 environment and school system. Please let me know what you recommend. Thank you so much! I love your personality btw you seem so cool! Def my favorite TH-camr. So encouraging.
Wow wow! just watching your video as a new agent in the real estate business has gave me 110 percent boost confidence that I can do it you got a subscriber me!! And I was like number 999 this was meant for me to see this video! Thank you ! I will be following you all you social media!!
This is just straight motivation for me. While you were putting in all of those hours of work with your mentor, were you getting paid during that point in time? The only bad part I see about starting off as an agent is I can't really go however many months without having any sort of income.
+Jake Wilson I wasn't getting paid BUT I was learning a lot. I also did some leases which would pay $500-$2000 per lease, and I'd do 2-4 per month so I was making some money but it was purely commission. Some months was 0, some $4000+, it was inconsistent.
Duuuude!!! Thanks for all the advice. You're actually with Oppenheim?!! I've seen your billboard on sunset strip. I recently started with Coldwell Banker in Brentwood and I feel exactly how you felt back then. Thanks for making me feel like there's hope!
Small world! Yeah, that's our Billboard! Very cool man, I started with Coldwell Banker on Canon in Beverly Hills - good luck on your career, it's such a fun business to be in.
Thanks for the encouragement! I definitely like the actual work more than I liked accounting. If you have time I’d like to further get some more advice from you about the business since we’re in the same market. We can chat via email or I can take you out for a drink or coffee. I’d really appreciate your input.
9:59 i can relate haha that happened to me also on my first product design job, that is a really nice story to hear Graham =), i was reading the comments you're awesome =) keep inspiring people :D, specially young ones like Wiz :P
Hey Graham, just want to say thank you for all of your vids and the insight you gave me with how to go about in property, it helped me so much! i dont know if you remember a while ago i commented saying that I purchased my first house for $12 000, well, i have my first tenets (family of 6) renting it for $220 and my monthly installments on the house is $120, When i went to get a review of the house I found that the true value of the property with the house is $20 000. Wish i could buy you a beer to say thank you! so man, Graham, what do i do next, I feel im on a roll
I’m 17, about to be 18. I’m about to go to a csu this fall to be a math teacher. I’ve always loved math and have always felt like I was meant to be a teacher. But I really reflected on what I’m getting myself into. I do not want to go to school for 5 years then have to work basically a 9-5 job. That’s not my thing. Real estate has always interested me. I’ve always really wanted to do my own thing and i think real estate would be perfect. I’ve always thought about it. I would love to not do the same thing everyday, meet new people and all that. It just sounds fun. I’m not scared of diving all in. I’m just scared of telling my family that I wanna drop out of college and go all in with real estate.
Told you about 4 weeks ago i was about to take my test, passed, and working with my first buyer right now. If you ever need anything in Missouri let me know!
I think being young is a big benefit to a business. People love letting young people succeed, I belive that is a good reason I've gotten some of my bigger jobs in the past
Also, don't let people tell you that you were just in the right place at the right time. When someone puts in as much time as you did, they are bound to have an opportunity come there way. Everyone of all ages gets opportunities to change our life, it's just whether we can recognize and execute.

Graham Stephan do you have to take courses or classes, or are those optional for the license exam?
Useful information starts at 0:00. Thank me later

+Braden Alan That sounds like pretty much my same experience! Crazy how it works that way. The first one is always the hardest.
Did you run into any challenges with diving into the luxury market head first?
What a baller - starting with $3.5 million deals! Such a great backstory - getting results took 10 months of grinding, and shadowing someone who was already successful. It's starting to sound cliche, but having a mentor (and working your ass off) is the absolute key to success.
Dude I’m not even a week into being an agent and I’m already stressing that I suck, but hearing that Graham say it took him 10 months eases me down a little
You should do a house tour of your house
I’m 16 and IM SO READY TO BE A REAL ESTATE AGENT! And this is the most encouraging thing I’ve ever heard😩I wish you can help me now
+jaliyah bratcher Get your real estate license when you're 18! And keep learning right now!
I just turned 19 and I've been a real estate agent for 4 months now. Its a blast

Nice!!!! I can't wait until I can do real estate but I am only 14:(((

B. Lee I have been studying and learning on my free time:)
You're still way ahead of the game, you're learning way more than I have at that age!
GrahamStephan yea I guess but I don't have much free time cause of this TH-cam channel and editing is a pain as u probably know:))
I hear you on that. It's weird, for me some days I LOVE filming and editing something, other days I can't even force myself to record or edit. Gotta run with it those days where you been inspired to do something!
Bruh 5:42 😂 😭
Thats what I always say when i go to Malibu or Beverly Hills
LOL! Go to Carbon Beach and I STILL think this!
Brother, I am very happy of your success. God may continue blessing you!!
I hate when people tell you "You're too young to be successful."
Happens ALL THE TIME. And those people are usually some 30-40 year old mediocre people who haven't really done much for themselves, either.
Thank you for the video I really need to focus on my confidence and my passion for Real Estate
Good luck man!!
This is one of my favorite TH-cam channels
Great video as always! You're a huge inspiration for me.
I got my NY State license about three months ago and sold my first home after the second month.
Congratulations, that's amazing! Where in New York are you selling?
Thank you so much! I'm with Douglas Elliman, currently working in Roslyn (Long Island) and plan to get dual licensed so I can also sell in Manhattan.
You are a good example to young and older people. To make the right choices how to manage their money. I made my son view your videos he is 20 years old so he could learn from you.

This is just straight motivation for me. While you were putting in all of those hours of work with your mentor, were you getting paid during that point in time? The only bad part I see about starting off as an agent is I can't really go however many months without having any sort of income.
+Jake Wilson I wasn't getting paid BUT I was learning a lot. I also did some leases which would pay $500-$2000 per lease, and I'd do 2-4 per month so I was making some money but it was purely commission. Some months was 0, some $4000+, it was inconsistent.
Amazing story, your mentor Van and your first buyer sound like solid dudes.
Duuuude!!! Thanks for all the advice. You're actually with Oppenheim?!! I've seen your billboard on sunset strip. I recently started with Coldwell Banker in Brentwood and I feel exactly how you felt back then. Thanks for making me feel like there's hope!
Small world! Yeah, that's our Billboard! Very cool man, I started with Coldwell Banker on Canon in Beverly Hills - good luck on your career, it's such a fun business to be in.
Thanks for the encouragement! I definitely like the actual work more than I liked accounting. If you have time I’d like to further get some more advice from you about the business since we’re in the same market. We can chat via email or I can take you out for a drink or coffee. I’d really appreciate your input.
One of your best videos
9:59 i can relate haha that happened to me also on my first product design job, that is a really nice story to hear Graham =), i was reading the comments you're awesome =) keep inspiring people :D, specially young ones like Wiz :P
+Carlos Arthur Yeah! Totally surprised how positive the comments are. Really happy to see this!
Hey Graham, just want to say thank you for all of your vids and the insight you gave me with how to go about in property, it helped me so much! i dont know if you remember a while ago i commented saying that I purchased my first house for $12 000, well, i have my first tenets (family of 6) renting it for $220 and my monthly installments on the house is $120, When i went to get a review of the house I found that the true value of the property with the house is $20 000. Wish i could buy you a beer to say thank you! so man, Graham, what do i do next, I feel im on a roll
+Eugene Braaf Well done! Be careful with the tenant of 6, just check in every few months to make sure everything is maintained properly!
cool man, thank you. I will.
This was awesome, thank you for sharing your story!
Thanks for watching!
I’m 17, about to be 18. I’m about to go to a csu this fall to be a math teacher. I’ve always loved math and have always felt like I was meant to be a teacher. But I really reflected on what I’m getting myself into. I do not want to go to school for 5 years then have to work basically a 9-5 job. That’s not my thing. Real estate has always interested me. I’ve always really wanted to do my own thing and i think real estate would be perfect. I’ve always thought about it. I would love to not do the same thing everyday, meet new people and all that. It just sounds fun. I’m not scared of diving all in. I’m just scared of telling my family that I wanna drop out of college and go all in with real estate.
You've just got a new subscriber.
Thank you so much for the support Cobin! Really appreciate it!
Thanks for the motivation Graham!!! Congrats on your 70k subs👏🏻🍾
Thanks man!
wow! amazing story! Thanks for sharing.
This is a “now who’s fucking laughing” moment
+Wade L. Yeah, in hindsight it all worked out!
Hey Graham, im 19 also and im getting started in real estate. My story is VERY similar to yours, almost exactly. Would be DOPE if you could mentor me.
Hey Tyler, that's awesome! Unfortunately I'm not mentoring anyone at the moment, just spending that time uploading as much as I can here!
well i had to ask haha, look forward to learning more from your videos!
Hey how’s the real estate career going ?
Wow. I needed this.
Told you about 4 weeks ago i was about to take my test, passed, and working with my first buyer right now. If you ever need anything in Missouri let me know!
+Tj Welch AWESOME!! Good luck with the buyer!
school it's not a place for smart people
Agreed!
Wow this is actually profound
That depends entirely on what you want to do.
I think being young is a big benefit to a business. People love letting young people succeed, I belive that is a good reason I've gotten some of my bigger jobs in the past
I totally agree with that!
Also, don't let people tell you that you were just in the right place at the right time. When someone puts in as much time as you did, they are bound to have an opportunity come there way. Everyone of all ages gets opportunities to change our life, it's just whether we can recognize and execute.
I completely agree. Try something enough times, eventually something will stick!
Just turned 20, signed with KW a month ago. Trying to find my way right now. In the LA area as well
I gave you a thumbs up right after you said you had terrible grades in high school.
+Jermaine Ellis hahaha my man!
Whoah Graham! Look at you climbing to 100k subs. I joined in the 20k sub. Good job broseph
Thanks man! Almost there!
