How Much I Made My First Year As A Real Estate Agent

[@WillyJohnson-un9hq08]

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.

[@MarjoryWynkoop01]

I have been making a lot profit through real estate which has been the main source of my income.

[@amritachodha]

Let me try explaining - that's a marketing strategy, basically utilising this platform to attract potential leads and then converted into clients + if anybody wants to do real estate then they can also invest into her coaching program. Which gives her advantage over other fellow real estate agents. P.S - launching her coaching program gives her ability to generate extra cash flow and increase her value in the market.

I'm a firm believer that Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity, but what about life beyond luck. Plenty of people have had lucky opportunities they were not ready for and they managed to lose or destroy an amazing blessing or they weren't in a proper head space to see the opportunity for what it was or were too scared to take a chance. Good Luck definitely is a part of highly successful peoples fate so don't dismiss it or take it for granted, but success is also about having a positive mindset, good work ethic, and knowing how to fail and knowing when to cut your losses and regroup. My grandma always had a bunch of colloquialisms luck you can't control but hard work you can, only successful people learn from failure, and that money is a tool that is either a vicious master or excellent slave. Wishing you more luck!

It was hard work but what really made her successful was that she already had a presence on KZbin which is the best lead generating system for an agent. She also worked on a team that covered for her when she traveled. 99% of new agents don't have this luck even with 10x the work. She's a social media celebrity who has been doing youtube since highschool. The stats are that 87% of agents fail quit after 2 years. Monica earned her success, but more important there are many others that earned it too, if not more.

Congratulations! Great first year Monica. Real Estate is a great industry to be a part of. A couple of things others should keep in mind are, as a Real Estate Agent you are an independent contractor. That means you are responsible for paying your own taxes. Your brokerage does not withhold taxes from your commission checks. That means when you get those big commission checks you also have a large tax bill you are responsible for. Also, brokerages vary drastically in their fee structure. Some take up to 30% of your commission until you reach your cap (A set dollar amount you must meet each year before you can keep 100% or the majority of your commission). Many also have office fees etc. If you are part of a team then you will also pay a portion of your commission to your team lead. That's only fair since they are sharing all their knowledge with you and taking time to show you the ropes. You will also have other fees such as membership and licensing dues that are paid to your Real Estate commission. With all that said it is very possible to make a great living being a Real Estate Agent. Its a lot of work to be a successful agent but is such a great career path.

I've come to realize that the key to amassing wealth lies in making sound investments. I purchased my first home at the age of 33 for $87,000 and sold it for $197,000, My second home, acquired for $170,000, was later sold for $320,000, and my third property, purchased at $300,000, fetched $589,000, with buyers covering all closing costs and expenses. Not reaching a million before retirement feels like an unfulfilled goal..

[@millennialx9044]

@@thereal298 There are many privileges people use to leverage for success not just skin color-socio economic, beauty, exceptional intelligence, social connections, education... Etc, I say this because whiteness alone is also not a guarantee for success, it may help in mostly western and some colonized nations but not everywhere. There are many American KZbinrs of color who have achieved just as much and more and in shorter periods of time example . Monica is 27, she started YT in 2009, has 1.46million subscribers 67million veiws as a lifestyle bloggers and used YT to help her in her real estate broker and investment career. Not for comparison because each person walks their own path but here are examples of how POC also find great success on YT. Eva from mylifeaaseva, 27 like Monica, came from a working class background, raised primarily by her mom, started her YT in 2011, now has 11.47mill subscribers, 1.5+ billion views, released music singles And launched a clothing line. Kayla Nicole, 19 years old, working class background raised by her mom, started in 2014 has 5.46 mill subscribers 349mil views, launched her own app and a music career Janelle Eliana 23 years old joined in 2018, 2.47 mill subscribers, 92 mill veiws, leveraged a YT career of being a vanlife KZbinr bought several camper vans and a ranch on several acres in California Kelly Stamps, 26, 664k subscribers, joined 2017, 39mill veiws, has a lifestyle travel career on YT and according to her earnings video her earnings are on par with Monicas. And these are WOC of all shades and from humble backgrounds.

Monica, you helped me while I was studying for my real estate license. I thank you for that! Overall, your content has been spot on, and you are by far one of my favorite agents on KZbin as I find you reasonably relatable being a newer agent. I got my license a couple months ago but have been slacking recently. But I've sorted some personal things, and this video came up in my feed at the perfect time as I'm kicking things back into gear! I look forward to the future content you have to post, whether it's about real estate. Keep at it!

[@crystallef3352]

I just got my license last week and am hoping to make my broker decision this week!! I would love love to know more around KZbin and how you built your channel. I also have a question - I just can’t wrap my head around how so many leads are generated from KZbin. I know some people move out of state etc but I feel like the industry is more a local based thing and KZbin is obviously wayyyy bigger than my local area. So how do you end up with so many leads that are local to you?? Ps. I’m getting rdy to completely stalk all of ur videos (just fyi 😂) Oh andddd I’ll be happy if I do half of you did in a year!! I am so rdy to put in the work!! And congratulations to you bc you’ve def worked hard!!

Thanks for sharing, Monica! And congrats on all your success! I love watching your videos because I’m originally from the Seattle area. My problem with real estate is that I feel the career itself is very glamorized. When in reality, it’s a lot more work than people realize - working weekends, working nights, dealing with unforeseen issues, etc. I’d LOVE to see a video on what a typical week is actually like working in real estate. I know you’ve made a video in the past, but maybe something more in depth? Just an idea if you’re open to it 😊

[@kgal1298]

Yeah it's less Selling Sunset and more like grunt work. My roommate is an agent and he hates it most of the time and gets jealous of me because I do search marketing make the same amount of money and don't have to deal with the bullshit, but it did take me years to make what I do where as Real Estate if you grind you can make really good salaries early on. The thing with Monica is she had a built in marketing funnel and most agents don't have that.

[@PreeGirlSwagPro]

I am just starting the video, but do you not have a cap? It is something very important when working for a brokerage. For example, I am in a different state with a much lower cost of living, buuut.. I have a 75/25 split & “cap” at 13k for the year. So once my broker has received 13k from me out of her 25%, I make 100% of my commissions. I would say yours would be much higher, and maybe that is what you meant by renegotiating. But I thought I would say it, because it is important :-)

[@millennialx9044]

I can understand her first year going in and not fully knowing the importance of a cap but after seeing her own potential in a banner first year I'm like girl you are giving away money

I don't think luck is the right term. In this video she said she became an agent after realizing a ton of people will email her about houses so she knew she would definitely get sales from people who watch her youtube videos.

Kind of like a person who makes and has a lot of extra money and uses that money in investments to make them more money.
