I pulled the trigger. I left my 23 year teaching job to be an agent in the most competitive market in the country, South Florida. Working doesn’t feel like working, proud of myself for taking the leap😊
In my opinion Brandon is the number 1 real estate coach on planet earth. Gives it to you real and raw!!! Thank you for these videos, you are much appreciated and your video content just keeps getting better.
Thank you for this video. Just finished year 4 as a realtor. Started new part time job in July. I’m going to finish with my best year in real estate but will prospect before and after work hours. Won’t last forever but the new schedule has forced me to be more disciplined.
This is the ABSOLUTE best advice for new agents. I have save this one. This is the ONLY version of providing folks with the requisite information to make an INFORMED decision.
Today I give Brandon the "no bs content creator hat"out there, I love it brother, this video explains everything anyone wants to know. this was raw and real. Now you really got me motivated in doing what need to be done to be successful in this business
That's not easy when you work shift hours (12 to 14 hrs) nights and days. Sometimes I'm working 6pm to almost 8am. By the time i get home after traffic, I'm not getting to sleep until 1030am. I get about 3 to 5 hours of sleep and got to leave my house by 400pm to get to work on time. I'm working an average of 50 to 60hrs a week. The problem with all these real estate videos talking about working a fulltime job, they always refer full-time jobs as 40 hrs a week and having Saturday and Sunday off. This is not what half of us part time agents are going thru. I've been a part time agent for almost 3 years and literally hate my full-time job (there 23 years). I've been trying to figure out a way to transition to a fulltime Realtor, and definitely having a hard time. Everytime i find a video i think might help me, its always the same thing.....40 hrs a week and weekends off. Most blue collar workers work weekends, nights, and more than 40 hrs unfortunately. Not really sure what I'm going to do since I have medical insurance and have a mortgage.... but at this point, I'm seriously about to take a big chance and just go all in with real estate, and quit my job. Maybe just live a year off my retirement 401k with whatever savings i have??? Its very stressful. I love real estate, and its what I want to do. I guess we'll see.
I'm with you. I was a corrections officer working crazy hours, night and weekends. I switched my career to teaching with better hours. I could have asked for an admin schedule as an officer which also would have worked. I hope you find the solution 🤞
Can you reverse it and do real estate full time and work your job or another job part time so that you don’t cut off all your income? Maybe save up a certain amount if possible and reduce your current job to part time.
Appreciate your constant content Brandon, I’ve been an agent in the Los Angeles area for 3 months now and have gained a ton of knowledge from your videos 👌🏼
Outstanding guys great job. I am in this exact situation now. the clarity in which this video communicated was much needed because most realtor do not communicate this transition when talking about there journey to becoming a income producing Realtor.
Ever felt torn between a job and your real estate passion? You are not alone. Success means more than just hours. It's managing clients and seeking new ones.
Great Listen! I have 3 months saved and would LOVE to do this full-time. I'll follow these steps for sure. I guess my only question is this.... Let's assume I get the 6 months of my salary, I get my 100 active leads in the pipeline...How can I keep working full-time with 3-5 active listings? Have you found that those listings can be managed outside the 8-5 schedule? The reason I ask is because I'm in state where my days consist of back-to-back meetings from 8-5 (including through lunch). If I were getting calls about active listings, it would be very hard to call people back. What do you recommend for managing that? Maybe a quick reply that says I'll call them back that evening?
Thank you so much for this Brandon and Ben. I'm in this exact situation. I constantly think to myself if I should "burn the boat" but I've always felt like it was foolish without savings. Like Ben said, you wouldn't get a Domino's franchise without capital, why treat a successful real estate business any different? P.S. Ive been in your coaching program for months now and it's been the best training on ANYTHING I've had in my professional life. I'll definitely be applying these 6-7 steps to finally do this thing full time.
Perhaps it’s not the work ethic or load that people are thinking about, perhaps it’s dropping that FT income, as Brandon mentioned that supports their family. When you 1 st kick off in RE it can be 3/4 months or more before you see your 1st pay check.
Most people don’t have this kind of money saved so they could start! What’s your suggestions to someone who’s unemployed and only have 4 months of expenses saved?
Unfortunately, I would say that most people don’t get in this industry to be successful. Most get in because the government has allowed it to have one of the lowest entry barriers, so they get into it for the extra money/vacation money that they think they can make.
Can y’all do a video about follow up with new leads? I feel like I have good conversations and the prospects tells me when to check in with them again but then never answer. I’ll call, text, leave voicemails… like 5-10 attempts over months and they don’t answer… do I just trash those leads?
I'm really curious just how will I'm going to be able to generate the income I want. So many I've been successful mostly because of how chesp money has been the last 15 years. That's for now I'm walking into this as a supplement of income. I did take a demotion for my full-time job so I can work third shift to maximize my daytime hours.
This was the main point… most part-time agents ask this exact question but my question would be, If you go full-time and are successful meaning you’re managing a full client load, your still going to have to find 2 hours a day to prospect, otherwise you won’t be successful long term. Having a full client load as a full time realtor is like having a full time job. If you can’t find time to prospect while you have a full time job, how will you have time to prospect when you have a full client load? This why this is the first step and test to put yourself through…
You can alway find that additional hour. What can you stop doing now in order to get that extra hour? Spend your lunch prospecting is where I would start? Spend an extra 30 mins in the morning and 30 mins in the evening if you don’t have the “full hour” to dedicate at any given moment, etc. get creative.

👏👏👏
That's amazing! What do you think helped you succeed coming from teaching? I'm thinking of doing that
@asialevystone5287 congratulations. I just left my job of 20 years in Real Estate and going full-time as a realtor.
Following. I'm a teacher looking to take the leap but it's probably at least another year for me. Just got my license. Any other suggestions?
Can you share how you did it please? I'm a teacher too!

I need to go from the part time mindset to full time achiever
Man, saving this video to watch again and again. Saving up for your program and the lifestyle switch!

I had a my track coach/ teach for this was making 50k-60k on the side.

Which program are you in and did it help you get listings?
We have Hungry Howie’s in Florida 😁

At best 3 or 4 months

I guess the only pro to my profession as a nurse is that I have 4 full days to work part time in real estate

Whats the objection handler when confronted with "oh... So your a part time agent?"
I'm really curious just how will I'm going to be able to generate the income I want. So many I've been successful mostly because of how chesp money has been the last 15 years. That's for now I'm walking into this as a supplement of income. I did take a demotion for my full-time job so I can work third shift to maximize my daytime hours.
I want to start door knocking. Is there a specific time you suggest?
Even worse for me, burned the boats and needed to go back to work for a life raft.
Do you have to start prospecting at 8am?
Absolutely not.
What if you don't have 2 hours. More like an hour a day.
This was the main point… most part-time agents ask this exact question but my question would be, If you go full-time and are successful meaning you’re managing a full client load, your still going to have to find 2 hours a day to prospect, otherwise you won’t be successful long term.

@@joshuarohrer3261 This definitely seems like that best plan for me at the moment.
I know this is 7 months later, but this comment put things in perspective for me and where my time should be spent.@@joshuarohrer3261
Imagine not having 2 hours per day, only working 40 hours per week 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
