DAY IN THE LIFE AS A NEW REAL ESTATE AGENT

[@lismontenegro40]

Nice vid, thank you, starting in real estate and I got some terms explained just watching :) thanks for sharing

[@NicoleConnell]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dylanroberts93]

I’m in NC I’m wanting to become a realtor in the future I really love the fact you do your own thing. Im tired of working a normal job. This is very interesting

[@NicoleConnell]

One of the reasons I decided to become a realtor is I hated working for someone making the same money regardless every week. There’s no cap in real estate and you make your own hours

[@dylanroberts93]

@@NicoleConnell thank you.

[@plannergirljasmine4909]

Can you post a video of the process from the lead to the actual closing?

[@NicoleConnell]

Yes of course!

[@larobfaithful]

Whoa...closing then walk thru?

[@NicoleConnell]

I believe in this video I said it was backwards for a specific reason, however, we had the attorney hold the docs in escrow until we gave them the OK after the walkthrough to protect my clients.

[@larobfaithful]

1 year ago. How are you doing now and what are some things you would tell yourself looking back at this video?

[@NicoleConnell]

2 years ago since this video! I have changed to a new brokerage and team since this video and absolutely loving the new brokerage I am with. Hitting new goals and still trying to stay relevant in this field 2 years later.

[@larobfaithful]

@@NicoleConnell thank you for responding. I am 2 months in. A few open houses but no listings. What type of advice would you give to a person in my position?

[@larobfaithful]

1 year in 7 transactions, 2nd brokerage, plus joined a team. Market has slowed down tremendously since this video. Hope all is well.

[@brendan4174]

i’m 14 years old and i watch these to get prepared and ahead of the game and i’ve watched so many of these but this was by far the best one i’ve watched great video ❤️

[@NicoleConnell]

Aw thanks so much! It's great to start young so you can walk into this career knowledgeable and confident!

[@Ravenj1998]

Really enjoyed this video! I’m currently in real estate school & will be starting law school this fall deciding between corporate or real estate law. This video just gave me mega encouragement. You make it look so easy. & I love how prompt & well organized you are. New subbie here, you’re amazing at this lol!!

[@NicoleConnell]

Thank you so much girl!! I appreciate that! I always thought about going to law school as well. Good luck!

[@laquidapetersen1301]

[@NicoleConnell]

Aww thanks so much! I used to live in FL, you'll love it there!

[@lindtothesayyy]

Awesome Laquida!! I just moved to FL a few months ago and am thinking about getting into real estate. What school did you go with??

[@ginacanzona1476]

I'm a realtor in LA and love watching other agents Day in the Lifes! I can relate to everything in this video hahaha

[@NicoleConnell]

I love watching others too!! LOL we can all relate to something in these videos for sure lol

[@michaelelledge4888]

You're doing a good job and you have a great personality 😁😁 LOL

[@NicoleConnell]

Thank you!!

[@JoshuaErabu]

Great video! How do you personally lead gen?

[@NicoleConnell]

my main lead sources are zillow, social media, & my SOI. I may be getting into more FSBO come the new year

[@JoshuaErabu]

@@NicoleConnell That’s awesome! I’m making some videos on how I prospect fsbos soon

[@NicoleConnell]

Awesome I’ll have to check them out!

[@JFalto]

I've been watching your videos and damn, you got your shit together. Thanks for posting your valuable advice and insight!

[@NicoleConnell]

Thank you so much, I appreciate that!!

[@CallumMoorekw]

@7:39 it's like a focused face but enjoying the jam face

[@KendraSteinberger]

Wish we could see you interacting with clients😩 I have watched everyone one of your videos now♥️ I am waiting for my license to get to my broker and watching your videos, makes me so much more eager to start😃

[@NicoleConnell]

Awww that's so exciting!! I would love to record interacting with clients but I still just get awkward with the camera sometimes! lol

[@alexissalyers8109]

My fear in this industry is showing houses alone. Any recommendations on how to get over that?

[@NicoleConnell]

They offer a bunch of realtor safety classes. Also, I always try to meet me client first before showing them a home so you can feel more comfortable if you do find yourself in a position along showing a home. I will sometimes take my husband with me and he will sit in the car if I ever go to areas I feel unsafe or meeting someone new. It's not something I would say you should get over but something us women unfortunately need to be more cautious about in this industry.

[@kiarrachantelg]

Im so glad I found this video, I’m currently taking my exam to become licensed in MA and it’s exciting to see a KZbin from my area! Looking forward to watch more of your videos 😊

[@NicoleConnell]

That's awesome, good luck!! I am also licensed in MA :)

[@JazminMmasechaba]

This is random. You’re so pretty. You’re like a mix of Carli Bybel and Amanda Bybel

[@NicoleConnell]

Omg thank you SO much - such a great compliment, I love them!

[@mother_of__corgis]

I totally agree! That's who I instantly thought of!

[@NicoleConnell]

@@mother_of__corgis WOW thank you SO SO much :)

[@eleidym]

Great content! I would like to ask you what do you recommend to new agents to work with? Sellers or buyers? Which process is more complex in terms of listing or preparing a contract for a buyer? Thanks in advance.

[@NicoleConnell]

I say they both have their difficulties. I started off with buyers as they are easier to find especially in this market. Once you write a few contracts it gets a lot easier. Listing appointments and landing the listing I think is the hard part of listings. I'd recommend diving into both when you can.

[@eleidym]

Nicole Connell Thank you!!!

[@enriquedelatorre2540]

So basically you make money depending on wether you sell a house? Sorry I’m just getting into Real Estate

[@NicoleConnell]

Yes, you don't make commission until the house is closed/sold.

[@summergarcia2014]

Considering getting my real estate license, and I loved your video!

[@NicoleConnell]

Aw thanks girl!! Def go for it!

[@mommyoftwoalicia5682]

So do you have a personal page on fb and a realtor page posting personal on your fb the. Real estate on the business page? If that makes any sense? I was going to make a business page then post some cool ideas on there along with personal but not sure if I should have a separate page for that or what so? Haha😯🏡

[@NicoleConnell]

I post directly to my business page and then I share it to my personal page since I have more friends on there!

[@mommyoftwoalicia5682]

@@NicoleConnell I deleted my huge personal page a year ago and now I want to make a business one but feel like I have to make a new personal one as well. Also quick question if you work so much as a realtor do you have any time to go out of town for vacation for even a week ?

[@Ladymultiverse]

How were you trained? And do you get directions from your broker?

[@NicoleConnell]

I worked under a team and had a team leader as my coach/mentor to help me. I didn't really get training from my broker himself.

[@ohmgmarilyn]

I have a question. For any real estate agent seeing this! I’m trying to obtain my bachelors at the moment. With that being said, i’m not completely full time. I was planning on getting my license over the summer, and take my exam whenever my application is approved. So my question is, do any of y’all think it’s genuinely possible to be semi-successful real estate agent and be a college student? Do I really have to choose one or the other?

[@NicoleConnell]

Hi! At first I would stick to doing both if you are able. If you had a plan to get your masters don't stop that for your real estate career fully just yet - it will be nice to have something to fall back on just in case. You can definitely be successful doing it part time as long as you put good hours into prospecting and trying to get business. I worked a 9-5 and did real estate on the side for about 7-8 months before I decided to take on real estate full time so it is definitely doable!

[@selfHaphazardyet]

Im so happy I found your channel!

[@NicoleConnell]

Aw me too! Welcome :)

[@fashion4everlove]

Great video. Home sense is the Canadian version of Home Goods.

[@NicoleConnell]

I've heard of home sense but I haven't seen one around here before.

[@Dee-nh7qg]

Can you do more of these videos? 👍🏻😃

[@NicoleConnell]

yes of course, I will be doing another one soon!

[@maddiesomething1658]

How did you know Real Estate was right for you?? I’m heavily looking into it now!

[@NicoleConnell]

When I went to school for paralegal the one class I actually really enjoyed was real estate law. Once I started working in the field as a paralegal and talking daily with realtors I knew I wanted to be on the other side of things and become an agent rather than a face behind the computer! Definitely worth it if it is something you are interested in!

[@mother_of__corgis]

I'm currently going through a real estate course for Illinois and have been watching all your videos!

[@NicoleConnell]

That's awesome! Hopefully they are helping :)

[@mother_of__corgis]

@@NicoleConnell they're honestly helping so much!! I'm so excited!

[@daylonharris3430]

Nice video ! What made you pick Zillow over RedX and Mojo ?

[@NicoleConnell]

To be honest I have not fully looked into the others and had some great traction from Zillow.

[@courtney1968]

Love this! I am currently considering getting into real estate. Can you possibly do a video on things to know/tips for getting into real estate? Some things that scare me off are having enough money in savings as I know it’s possible not to make any money the first year as a realtor. I don’t want fear to hold me back though 🥺 So any insight would be much appreciated!!

[@NicoleConnell]

Hey girl! I’ll absolutely do a video on this very soon!! My biggest piece of advice is if you’re thinking about doing it, then absolutely do it :) it’s such a fun and rewarding career! Stay tuned for the video :)

[@brenden2874]

Is your job always this busy? It looks like you never get a break I would go crazy if I were you

[@NicoleConnell]

not always! This was summer time which is always the busiest for me. Right now it's not as crazy as that even though I really do enjoy being that busy (sometimes!) lol

[@dianagaldamez1017]

Can you do a video how you studied for your real estate license 🤗

[@NicoleConnell]

I actually have one a couple videos before this video was uploaded 😊

[@lifeofrico]

Hey I’m working on my course online right now to be an agent had a couple questions what online course did you use or did you do it in person? I’m doing mine online with real estate express besides whatever course you used to pass the state exam what else did you use to study anything else to give any tips on passing the final state exam? Love the video gave me a good insight on a daily life of an agent also can you clarify this haha j in heard what you learn on the course you don’t really you any of it in the field on the actual job because I know it’s mostly laws your learning I know you do have to retain some of that information but is anything on the course really used in the reap life field do you still have to learn new things from your brokerage on what you actually do as a real estate agent? Lol or you just learn as you go? Lol seems kinda crazy but yeah sorry for the long comment lol

[@NicoleConnell]

Hey! I did my course in person and the Real Estate Institute of RI. All states are different but just make sure that the course your taking is from an accredited school because there are definitely some scams out there. I study all the practice quizzes in the book and also used prepagent.com. (I have a whole video on how to prepare for the exam that you should check out! You learn a lot in class that I myself havent typically needed to know out on the field, however, it's always good to know. I learned A LOT once I joined a brokerage and a team. I recommend finding a team who focuses on helping new agents!

[@lifeofrico]

@@NicoleConnell thank you I appreciate that yeah I been watching a bunch of Your videos 👌 just your day in the life videos and some other ones thank you though I’ll check out prepagent to
