Actually there are clients like you who prefer to just view the property on their own and there are those who perhaps want to be toured around. I'm in the business and I tell you, at the end of the day the property sells it self unless you are in the market looking for something to flip then some agents can help you by giving you ideas on what you can do with the property. What I do most of the time is just talk a bit about the property, just give the basics and the try to follow them from behind and if they have any questions then I'm there to answer it for them.
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.
Man, am I glad I clicked on this video. Tbh I was scared of watching it Bc of what I will have to go through, but the more you push yourself, the better. No risk no reward
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....
@charlotteelizabeth6830 That's actually quite impressive, I could use some Info on your FA, I am looking to make a change on my finances this year as well
@charlotteelizabeth6830 The crazy part is that those advisors are probably outperforming the market and raising good returns but some are charging fees over fees that drain your portfolio. Is this the case with yours too?
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!
I am starting my pre-licensing course soon, and to get a jump start in the business and to start making some connections, I actually obtained a job at a real estate office as an administrator. I have learned soo much so far and look forward to getting my license and can't wait to start selling houses. Good Luck Everyone.
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!
It took me 3 years to stop trying to predict what's about to happen in the market based on charts studying because you never know. Please, i need the help of your Investment advisor.

Thinking of getting into real estate and was offer from a friend to join a group/class costing 40K. So I came to utube to get info. I thank you for this plain sensible easy to understand video. At 67 years old I appreciate your honesty and I can feel it. Rooting for you thanks a bunch.
I just sat for my Bar last month to be a lawyer and today I bought my pre licensing course to get my real license agent 🤞🤞🤞 I am so excited for this journey. Thank you for this informative video.
I’m starting my pre licensing course mid January. I want to be licensed by March. I don’t want to make it into a career, because there’s no guarantee salary. My goal is maybe four sales per year. I plan to get a job as a college professor, and do real estate on the side.
This was helpful! Every person I speak to that I know (family members, friends) who are agents have all told me to not get involved and it's not worth it, but I also realize those people I know haven't put in the full time and effort into it.
I dropped out of college last year to pursue my dream of becoming a real estate agent and it worked. It’s really worth it and I have no regrets. Been an amazing journey but it’s not as easy as I thought anyways
@@yangchengji Passing the Real estate test is when you study hard, if you can't study or you don't have time for your studies I'd advise you get yourself a help like Mrs Amanda

I follow you on FB and IG. Always love your simple explanations and your knowledge and insights. I’m really looking to get into real estate investing for rental income, or passive income. Does that topic come up with your viewers?
I just purchased my pre-licensing course today. Completely unexpected but I have a good feeling about this! Your video was very informative. Thank you for making it!
Very informative video. I will be taking my exam in Texas pretty soon. I’m praying I pass on my first try. My sister is agent/broker in Illinois. She sold close to ten properties her first year! A lot of her sales came from family and word of mouth.
The best investment one can do right now is investing on real estate though stocks are good but ever since I swapped to real estate, I've seen so much difference.
How does this video only have 1.5k likes?? This video is amazing!! Thank you so much ❤️ it was very helpful. I’m 20 and I’m a college student, I’m studying international business, and I’m absolutely in loveeee with real estate, I look up to you!
Almost everyone starting off as a new agent is dual careered so its totally normal, unless you have a ton of money saved and can afford to then go for it but you definitely need some sort of income until you get yourself established and can be a full time agent.
80%drop out within the first year. There’s about 300 comments talking about how excited they are. Only 25 out of 300 of you guys will succeed. Don’t be too optimistic. Be a realist, you must give this your all.
Really informative Video, answered lots of my questions and I start my test prep classes in LA next week. How much would you say you made your 1st year?
I’m kinda interested in being a real estate agent but I’ve heard horrible things about it but honestly I feel like I would enjoy this job I’ll definitely be looking into doing this in another year or so once I finish college, I also heard it’s very expensive for the courses but idc I’m willing to do this and get the license I always imagined myself being a real estate agent.
I hear everywhere that agents don’t use anything they learn from the real estate school in order to get their license. What about the Professional Code of Ethics? What about Finance? What about violating the real estate law? What about the vocabulary, arithmetics, and general information about real estate? Does that mean agents disregard all of these when they become agents? That seems shiesty and untrue. Wouldn’t new agents be going into the industry completely blind if they didn’t retain any of the required knowledge? Wouldn’t that mean agents aren’t following the Professional Code of Ethics? Can you do a video explaining this? I think it perpetuates dishonesty in the industry by informing everyone they don’t use anything they learned in real estate school.
Hi Chloe, so I bought the year plan from Prep Agent and have my Real Estate Exam in September. I’m a bit skeptical about prep agent though. I try and complete the practice exams everyday and am learning the vocabulary on prep agent. Is prep agent in fact a good platform to study off of to pass the CA Real Estate Exam? Great video by the way. It was VERY Informative.
Yes! Hands down best choice I personally made. I actually only did their 7 day crash course prior to my exam but I am confident he’s the reason I passed on first try!
@@chloedeverrier hey Chloe what exactly is that crash course and where did you get access to it ? I am also looking into prep agent, but don't know if im going to need to much content.
@@thaniacastro2893 Hi Thania, if you are still in the process: I purchased the year plan from Prep Agent, and it is worth it for me because there is a healthy community of people who are also studying at the same time. So far I have attended two crash courses. In addition to the daily webinars and being consistent with studying everyday, the webinars are helpful. They are ala carte items and you might not need the full subscription to purchase a single webinar. Hope this helps.
i spent my stimulus check 600$ on real estate classes for my state which i am currently taking, and trying to get my license here. but i am planning to move to a different state soon probably California. am i gonna have to redo everything i’ve done?
Don't do it. Especially in California. I'm an agent here in San Diego and there are way too many agents and not enough homes. You won't make much money because you have to constantly compete with multiple other agents to get the highest offer possible in this market. You won't be able to afford anything and afford rent here. CA is a joke and in about to go do real estate elsewhere. You will regret moving here to CA , just don't do it.
This video was so helpful! I have been doing research on getting my license and am hoping to start courses soon, but I was wondering if you think you could do real estate as a side job in the beginning? I currently work a 9-5 from home and don't want to quit my current job until I feel financially secure enough doing real estate. Wondering your thoughts on that, thanks!
Hi I am a new mom looking to get into becoming a real estate agent as well. I have a Two-year-old and a eight month old and I am looking for a New work from home position do you have any idea Where I can apply?
Dont do it. Its like saying you want to be a surgeon part time. You have been told. Real estate is a full time job and unless you are any good, you will make fuck all money. 80% make no money at all and live off unemployment.
I can totally understand the feeling and necessity to be able to support yourself. That being said, real estate especially in the beginning - needs your full attention. You’re building a business! You need to give it 110%. I would recommend staying with your 9-5, save as much as you can (at least a years worth of living expenses) and when you’re ready, cut ties. You need to believe in yourself!
Unfortunately real estate is not a at home career - you spend a majority of your time out in the field! If you’re looking to stay home, I’d recommend reaching out to brokerages or high producing agents who are in need of a virtual assistant.
What do you mean by buy and sell real estate? Does that mean I'll be spending my own money? Please clarify, I'm so confused. 🥴 and what do you mean by business expenses, can you provide examples? Also, how long did it take you to see a return?
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!!
Very insightful! My younger brother just got his license and that got me thinking about going into the business. I think people who have a good grasp on tech would do well in this business as far as the social networking is concerned. Do you know if making a TH-cam channel about all the listings you have will generate more sales? I follow a youtuber who shows her houses and it looks like she has sold alot. 😎👍
Please don't. We already have too many real estate agents and not enough homes on the market. You do not want to get onto it right now in this current market. Too much competition on trying to get offers accepted. Too many buyers getting discouraged. You will not make much money. It's hard to get an offer accepted anymore. Good luck trying to be a listing agent as a brand new agent in this market. Do something else because you will rip your hair out being an agent right now. Buyers constantly ignoring you and wasting your gas money and time. Not even saying thank you. Buyers not listening to your advice and thinking they know everything when they don't. Buyers spending countless months with you to only go with another agent regardless of the efforts you put in. This career makes you feel worthless and like a shitbag. Don't do it.
It's not. It's called being realistic which most people can't handle the truth because they're a bunch of whiny snowflakes. Being a real estate agent sucks, because people suck. I didn't realize how much I hate people until getting into this career. And realized it wasn't for me. Every single person is a fucking flaky asshole. Everyone sucks.
I'm thinking about pursuing this career and starting out would with little connections, would it be a advantageous to start to with team? In addition, if/when I decided to go solo, can you take those connections with your OR is there a way to strategically grow your own book of business in order to make the transition into be a solo RE agent more smoooth?
I live in Georgia & I’m currently taking an online class that makes me eligible to take my exam after! I am so excited & nervous to start this journey. So glad I found your videos to help with questions 😊
Hey, how is it so far? Is worth it? I’m 19 years old and I wanna get into the Real estate but I’m currently in college but I’m nervous how that will work out. Any tips?
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.
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
Thank you so much for this video! I’m super excited to finally be licensed, hopefully I pass the other half of the test this month! 🤞🏾 I’m currently a leasing agent and transitioning to a Broker ❤️.
@@KojiWoji_ actually by me taking on the role as a leasing agent to surround myself around real estate I’ve made connections with brokers. Surround yourself around what it is you’re trying to achieve. I’m still learning but I feel like once you surround yourself around likeminded individuals that definitely helps.
What if I move from one state to another? Do I have to reapply/retake the test for my license or does it just transfer? I live in Ohio and plan to go to college here but then move to LA. And since I’m still in high school, is there a way to get a head start and/or mentor?
You need an active license in any state you choose to work in. If you plan to start your career in LA I would recommend taking the CA exam - unfortunately the license does not transfer. You don’t need a license in Ohio unless you choose to do business there.
Thank you so much I am interested in real estate and your honest experience and opinion is so valuable similar to what I have heard from other folks who seek to generously share their experience thank you again and you're very much appreciated.
Thank you for this video Chloe! Do you believe that your social media presence has to align with your real estate image? Do you find a balance of posting professional/ personal?
You definitely have to be much more aware of what you post and how you post on your social media accounts because as a real estate agent you are always representing your brokerage and your local Association of Realtors even when you are " off duty ". ALWAYS maintain your image as an agent and post professionally and post only tasteful content to any and all of your social media accounts.
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?
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?
For Coldwell Banker I pay $150/month and that covers access to marketing materials, agent management platform and resources for our business, office space and the ability to legally use our license in this business!
Hi! I have my exam on Sept. 3, 2021. I’m excited and nervous at the same time. I would love to learn more from Caldwell Banker in my city. I’m in Orlando, Fl.
I was supposed to take my test back in June but I was so scared that I was gonna fail and got discouraged but I’m going to take it I’m January and hope I pass
Hi there,what phone does real estate agent uses? Would 1 phone is good or 2 phones is better for business? How difficult for being a real estate agent? How long it takes for the first sale?
Thank you i am upcoming preschool teacher but i also want to do real estate as a side until im where i want to be and pay off things while working in something i love which is a teacher 🤗
I currently registered for my classes i live in Ohio but i want to move to California within the next year to persue this career. I’m extremely nervous and i don’t know anyone there is their anything you think i should start doing now before i move?
Thank you for this. I watched this video a few times to make sure that I understand all the points. I am getting licensed now and any information about the real estate business helps. Have a great day.
Yes definitely! If anything you have an advantage because you’ve had more time to build more meaningful relationships. I would say real estate is commonly a second career for many
Thank you much Chloe, I will continue following you on you tube. As soon as I get my license I will contact you for deferral on joining a broker in Miami Florida.
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?
At what age can you become an agent at and do you have to have your high school Diploma to start or if your in the middle of getting that can you still get licensed or?
@@mommyoftwoalicia5682 SO I would look up Wisconsin real estate license and go to the government page and it should say exactly what you need to do and the requirements. You might be able to start the pre-license courses while getting your high school diploma because I think you need that for your official license.
My real estate agent allowed me to walk though the house alone while she sat on the back porch. I appreciated her silence. And yes I bought the house.
Bruh…

As a new agent or thinking about becoming an agent is it OK to have a side job to help pay for expenses as you get established as an agent?
Almost everyone starting off as a new agent is dual careered so its totally normal, unless you have a ton of money saved and can afford to then go for it but you definitely need some sort of income until you get yourself established and can be a full time agent.
absolutely a smart idea!!
Of course! I would recommend dedicating your side job to the evening so you can be present with clients or opportunities during the day!

Unfortunately courses are different to each state. If you want to work in CA you need a CA license which stems with CA certification courses
Don't do it. Especially in California. I'm an agent here in San Diego and there are way too many agents and not enough homes. You won't make much money because you have to constantly compete with multiple other agents to get the highest offer possible in this market. You won't be able to afford anything and afford rent here. CA is a joke and in about to go do real estate elsewhere. You will regret moving here to CA , just don't do it.
@@mannm8658 Agreed! We moved away from CA and never want to go back!
You might have to redo the courses for California but don’t let that stop you! Believe in yourself
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?
As a brand new agent, do you think it’s a good idea working on a team right away? Or maybe a mentorship instead and then maybe a team?
This video was so helpful! I have been doing research on getting my license and am hoping to start courses soon, but I was wondering if you think you could do real estate as a side job in the beginning? I currently work a 9-5 from home and don't want to quit my current job until I feel financially secure enough doing real estate. Wondering your thoughts on that, thanks!
Hi I am a new mom looking to get into becoming a real estate agent as well. I have a Two-year-old and a eight month old and I am looking for a New work from home position do you have any idea Where I can apply?
I second this question. It would be super helpful if I could keep my 9 to 5 as it would make the expenses more reasonable
Dont do it. Its like saying you want to be a surgeon part time. You have been told. Real estate is a full time job and unless you are any good, you will make fuck all money. 80% make no money at all and live off unemployment.
I can totally understand the feeling and necessity to be able to support yourself. That being said, real estate especially in the beginning - needs your full attention. You’re building a business! You need to give it 110%. I would recommend staying with your 9-5, save as much as you can (at least a years worth of living expenses) and when you’re ready, cut ties. You need to believe in yourself!
Unfortunately real estate is not a at home career - you spend a majority of your time out in the field! If you’re looking to stay home, I’d recommend reaching out to brokerages or high producing agents who are in need of a virtual assistant.
What do you mean by buy and sell real estate?
Does that mean I'll be spending my own money? Please clarify, I'm so confused. 🥴 and what do you mean by business expenses, can you provide examples?
Also, how long did it take you to see a return?
great video! I’m getting ready to take my exam in Texas… wish me luck!
Hey babe I’m in Texas too ! What do you need for the exam ???
thats awesome!! My cousin is in TX working on hers too
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!!
Very insightful! My younger brother just got his license and that got me thinking about going into the business. I think people who have a good grasp on tech would do well in this business as far as the social networking is concerned. Do you know if making a TH-cam channel about all the listings you have will generate more sales? I follow a youtuber who shows her houses and it looks like she has sold alot. 😎👍
I don’t think it will necessarily generate more sales but it will definitely help you build a reputation!
Please don't. We already have too many real estate agents and not enough homes on the market. You do not want to get onto it right now in this current market. Too much competition on trying to get offers accepted. Too many buyers getting discouraged. You will not make much money. It's hard to get an offer accepted anymore. Good luck trying to be a listing agent as a brand new agent in this market. Do something else because you will rip your hair out being an agent right now. Buyers constantly ignoring you and wasting your gas money and time. Not even saying thank you. Buyers not listening to your advice and thinking they know everything when they don't. Buyers spending countless months with you to only go with another agent regardless of the efforts you put in. This career makes you feel worthless and like a shitbag. Don't do it.
@@mannm8658 Well that is completely the wrong mindset to have!
It's not. It's called being realistic which most people can't handle the truth because they're a bunch of whiny snowflakes. Being a real estate agent sucks, because people suck. I didn't realize how much I hate people until getting into this career. And realized it wasn't for me. Every single person is a fucking flaky asshole. Everyone sucks.
Thank you for this video I know it’s not going to be easy but I will have a positive mind sit and of get all the help I need
I'm thinking about pursuing this career and starting out would with little connections, would it be a advantageous to start to with team? In addition, if/when I decided to go solo, can you take those connections with your OR is there a way to strategically grow your own book of business in order to make the transition into be a solo RE agent more smoooth?
Hi. How is it going for you?
I live in Georgia & I’m currently taking an online class that makes me eligible to take my exam after! I am so excited & nervous to start this journey. So glad I found your videos to help with questions 😊
( *loidavelasqueez@gmail com* )
I am going the same in GA! Good luck to you :)
what program are you using? i’m trying to get the best online class to take
Hey, how is it so far? Is worth it? I’m 19 years old and I wanna get into the Real estate but I’m currently in college but I’m nervous how that will work out. Any tips?
Which online class are you taking ? I’m in GA too
It’s better to start as a team when your starting out you learn more !
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.
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
Hey you said that starting out you spend a lot of money. What do you spend money on. I’m still doing research to see if this is a step I want to take.
Following!
I am on the fence about going forward with taking the pre-licensing courses. I was hoping to continue with my day job and maybe get on with a team.
Thank you so much for this video! I’m super excited to finally be licensed, hopefully I pass the other half of the test this month! 🤞🏾 I’m currently a leasing agent and transitioning to a Broker ❤️.
Update I passed my Real Estate exam today!!
@@MissDriaBia AYYEE CONGRATS MATE! anytips on getting into a brokerage of sorts?
@@KojiWoji_ thank you so much and I’m actually in the process of determining which brokerage I will go with here in Illinois.
@@MissDriaBia ayye! Did you just locate one and apply for it? Any tips you can share that you didnt know prior to getting licensed?
@@KojiWoji_ actually by me taking on the role as a leasing agent to surround myself around real estate I’ve made connections with brokers. Surround yourself around what it is you’re trying to achieve. I’m still learning but I feel like once you surround yourself around likeminded individuals that definitely helps.
Do "leaving your expired packets" work? I'd appreciate knowing more about. Thank you
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.
Thanks for the information, I am interested in being a real estate agent.
What if I move from one state to another? Do I have to reapply/retake the test for my license or does it just transfer? I live in Ohio and plan to go to college here but then move to LA. And since I’m still in high school, is there a way to get a head start and/or mentor?
You need an active license in any state you choose to work in. If you plan to start your career in LA I would recommend taking the CA exam - unfortunately the license does not transfer. You don’t need a license in Ohio unless you choose to do business there.
@@chloedeverrier ok, thank you!
Thank you so much I am interested in real estate and your honest experience and opinion is so valuable similar to what I have heard from other folks who seek to generously share their experience thank you again and you're very much appreciated.
Thank you for this video Chloe! Do you believe that your social media presence has to align with your real estate image? Do you find a balance of posting professional/ personal?
Yes social media has made an impact! I try to keep most things professional.
You definitely have to be much more aware of what you post and how you post on your social media accounts because as a real estate agent you are always representing your brokerage and your local Association of Realtors even when you are " off duty ". ALWAYS maintain your image as an agent and post professionally and post only tasteful content to any and all of your social media accounts.
Why do agents do not tell the truth? They mostly focus on what they will make (given they do sale a property), and not on the buyer.
Resilience and positivity is key! ☺️
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?
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?
Yes you can write off all business related expenses
Very helpful and informative. Straight to the point and what I needed. Thanks!
Can you do tax write off when you first start? I think working with a team it best for me and want to know if I do tax write offs.
As soon as you are in the business you can write off business related expenses - I would speak to CPA if you have further questions!
How much are your monthly office fees & what does it cover? Thanks
For Coldwell Banker I pay $150/month and that covers access to marketing materials, agent management platform and resources for our business, office space and the ability to legally use our license in this business!
@@chloedeverrier Do you have to pay that if you make a sale or not?
Hi! I have my exam on Sept. 3, 2021. I’m excited and nervous at the same time. I would love to learn more from Caldwell Banker in my city. I’m in Orlando, Fl.
What course did you use?
how did the exam go ?
@@yaretzygalvez I had to reschedule it, my son got sick and couldn’t go. 😔
@@teresablue6081 I used a website called The CE Shop.
When do you take your exam? I wish you the best!
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
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?
I was supposed to take my test back in June but I was so scared that I was gonna fail and got discouraged but I’m going to take it I’m January and hope I pass
You got this!!! Keep pushing through
Hi there,what phone does real estate agent uses? Would 1 phone is good or 2 phones is better for business?
How difficult for being a real estate agent? How long it takes for the first sale?
Do you have any suggestions for real estate courses in Los Angeles, CA ?
Yes! Use the link in the description. It’s the same course I used to get my certification. Good luck!
Thank you 😊 I’m excited to record my new journey 🤍
Thank you i am upcoming preschool teacher but i also want to do real estate as a side until im where i want to be and pay off things while working in something i love which is a teacher 🤗
Hello. Thinking on getting my real estate license here in California. You talk about getting a mentor, how can you know who or how to chose a mentor ?
This was very informative , intimidating and I feel discouraged. Will I have to pay the fees even if I'm not getting paid?
Also, how do I find the right brokerage? Are there any that will pay hourly?
Do you have to be a broker to be able to be a solo realtor?
Nope!
I currently registered for my classes i live in Ohio but i want to move to California within the next year to persue this career. I’m extremely nervous and i don’t know anyone there is their anything you think i should start doing now before i move?
Thank you for this. I watched this video a few times to make sure that I understand all the points. I am getting licensed now and any information about the real estate business helps. Have a great day.
Hi Chloe,
Could you be successful starting out a new real estate carrier in your 50s.
Yes definitely! If anything you have an advantage because you’ve had more time to build more meaningful relationships. I would say real estate is commonly a second career for many
Thank you much Chloe,
I will continue following you on you tube. As soon as I get my license I will contact you for deferral on joining a broker in Miami Florida.
Would you recommended Coldwell Banker for a new agent?
Yes! I love the company
I’ve heard great things about Coldwell Banker!
What other areas in real estate can one pursue other than Sales?
Great video! The Realty Task Manager app will help too
Love this video! It helped me to decide getting my license here in Nevada. Thank you, Chloe! :)
I'm here in Nevada as well. How is it going so far?
Do you recommend getting an LLC?
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?
At what age can you become an agent at and do you have to have your high school Diploma to start or if your in the middle of getting that can you still get licensed or?
it depends on your state!
@@ashynv Wisconsin ?🙂
@@mommyoftwoalicia5682 SO I would look up Wisconsin real estate license and go to the government page and it should say exactly what you need to do and the requirements. You might be able to start the pre-license courses while getting your high school diploma because I think you need that for your official license.
Perseverance is key
Thank you for the good info, I’m process of studying on Practice.
Does real estate class counts to transfer universities?
hi I want to start soon. I will graduate highschool soon so what should I start with?
You described well enough. Keep it up.
Great information and great video 👍👍👍👍
Thank you!!
Thank you , for this. Does my prep agent still valuable into-day market.
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.
Thank you so much for the motivation. You’re amazing. God bless! ❤️
I live in Indiana and idk what place or city I should start . What’s the best places in Indiana ?
I am not familiar with Indiana - you’ll need to do your own due diligence!
