Day In The Life Of An 18 Year Old Real Estate Agent | London UK

Today I take you through a day in my life as an 18 year old real estate agent in London, UK. It's been a busy first month and today I manage to take you on a few viewings, show you around my local area and talk all things estate agency! Still relatively new to the role so I'm learning as I go but it's been a great experience so far.
If you're an aspiring agent, or simply interested in the property industry, register your interest on my website for updates about educational products and events I launch in future - www.bartchmiel...

Welcome to my channel, BartFin! A small creative space for me to talk all things real estate, personal finance, passive income, investing for beginners and many other money and business related subjects!
Over the last couple of years I've grown a strong interest for investing and how to really put my money to work for me and that's mainly what you'll see on this channel alongside the occasional car video and insights into my life as a new real estate agent in South West London.
I'd really appreciate it if you could like the video to help me push it out to a couple more people! The KZbin algorithm is a scary place haha.

Wow! So interesting to see this over a year later. I think it's fair to say my day in the life is very different now since moving into the prime central London market and taking up property development too... subscribe to follow the journey!

Should make a new vid bro! I’ve got an interview for an estate agent job tomorrow! You inspired me bro!

[@gsungud]

Im nearly 23 and hope to become an estate agent when I'm driving. I've lived in 7 different houses growing up and I feel like I have a good grasp of what makes a property unique and marketable. The main thing is, I really see myself enjoying selling/marketing houses etc. Which is why I hope to get in to the field. If I end up not liking it, then it's not that end of the world. But it's definitely worth the shot. You are very switched on for an 18 year old. You will find success I'm sure!

[@BartChmielecki]

Go for it! It's a great industry to be in. Thanks for watching!

[@joes7028]

Congratulations on your success I love seeing people make it in life

What’s the pay like, going to be a junior estate agent for a year before I officially qualify but wouldn’t mind knowing what the pays like from another young blokes perspective

[@st6431]

is Touting the main way you get new business or is there another source of leads where you phone them etc?

[@BartChmielecki]

Quite a broad topic!

[@Scampi95]

It's really weird how they make you spend time deleting emails and driving about just to deliver a letter... the return on these activities are so very low, I'd go absolutely mad. Does it not annoy you? I wanted to be an estate agent but if they are going to make me to that kind of stuff then I don't think it's for me. I'd rather be on the phone or face to face with the decision maker closing deals - that's the highest ROI activity both personally and commercially.

[@BartChmielecki]

You’re quite right. My role looks very different now that I have more experience. That was at the very start to learn the mechanics of the business.

[@otlgplayer5883]

Hi Bart, I’m also 18 and I recently got called to an interview with a real estate agency and although the meeting went well they offered me 8k per annum and said I’d still be able to earn 25k per annum through commission which I don’t think is very believable. Obviously you can’t say how much you earn but does what I say sound right or should I be requesting higher wages. Because I would be working full time.

[@BartChmielecki]

At 18, take any experience you can get. How much you earn will also be area dependant in agency. If you’re in the South / London, I’d expect higher wages. But if you’re up in the north, it’s probably about right.

[@otlgplayer5883]

@@BartChmielecki Thanks so much for the advice.

[@BartChmielecki]

@@XtremeGamerps4 It varies from agency to agency. Most good agents do not rely on the basic salary and make up most of their pay through commission. It can be very lucrative but it's area and agency dependant.

Could you perhaps do a brief overview of expenses and potential earnings in London (I’m assuming it’s extremely different than up here in the North lol)?

[@BartChmielecki]

Sounds like a good idea! I’ll work on something and release it at some point. London is the place to be for real estate.

[@BartChmielecki]

But I’m glad you’re enjoying it! Most agents hate it and want to quit within 6 months but those that stay past the first 6 months then start to like it as things become easier with experience. So you’re doing a good job if you’re genuinely enjoying it lol
