First year was a huge struggle for me! Second year is going great for me, to anyone that reads this I went my first year making 0 dollars, 0 listings! second year is excellent since I moved to a part time job!! Sales are going through the roof, just this month I listed 8 pieces of real estate, shooting to list 15 next month.

[@ChastinJMiles]

YESSS!!!!! Nice Austin!! That's what I'm talking bout!!!!

[@austinlopeztherealtor]

Chastin J. Miles I’m sure we both are very busy but if possible I would love to chat with you over the phone sometime and pick your brain a little and see if there are somethings that I can learn, still looking to enter the luxury market up here. So far I have a foot in the door for Residential, Land, and commercial.

[@ChastinJMiles]

I'm actually starting a "Pick My Brain" Facebook group soon. It should be going by the end of the week. Would be great to have you join.

[@DonovanPoole]

When you started, did you have any sales background at all? Im a Sales vet, maybe 10yrs and decent locale name, though my town is small, 60k people Good thing is, I know how to brand, i have some ad makin tools, that does Facebook and website ads, and sends ads to phones. I also own a Facebook group with 30k ppl in it locale. ---- Im hoping to enter RE next year and have been watching your vids. Subbed.

[@ChastinJMiles]

@@DonovanPoole Sounds like you have a pretty good head start then. No my background wasn't in hardcore sales. I read a few books and took a few courses on it but I was by no means a sales expert. Also, I didn't have credibility and network that you have so I think you'll be great!

[@vrizzi91]

Hate to say , but im happy to know I’m not the only one to struggle. I made 7k my first year and it was very tough. I kept at it. My second year is about to end at around 45k while still having a part time job. I leave my part time job next week.... and I’m looking to KILL it this third year. For anyone struggling. Just keep at it. The more you work, the more you post on social media.... it all adds up in the end. It’s worth it.

[@vrizzi91]

@Steve Jobs Omg im so sorry, i completely forgot about this post. I will give you an update but its not a great one. I blame covid 100%. I sold 3 homes in january and havent sold anything since. This is the biggest drought in real estate i have had. I have plenty of money saved up and live with my mother still. So I was fine. Also i was able to collect Unemployment from the job i left so it kinda worked out. Again ill blame covid for the craziest market most of my fellow agents have ever seen. I am continuing to show house every day all week. I am 0-20 in my last 20 offers. my last one was 30k above asking and we still lost. This has been the story of my last 7-8 months and this week i got back surgery. so i will be out of work for 4-6 weeks. this year has been a wash. But i plan on starting a real estate photography business in the 3 months to add to my income. My mental health has gone through the roof since i left my other job. And i turned into a yes man. I book showings same day when people want to see them and my clients appreciate that. I love what i do and i will strive to make this work and so should all of you!!!!

Having multiple income sources is very crucial to financial growth.

[@JackWilliams9629]

@Rev Sister Lucy Peyton This is exactly what I'm talking about. For the past 2 years, my income has never been dependent on any firm or work place, because I chose to invest and the more money I get the more I seek for new investment opportunities

​@Rev Sister Lucy Peyton Unfortunately having a job doesn't mean security. So I really appreciate Forex/Crypto Expert Gloria Watson transparency and help on my Investments.

​@Rev Sister Lucy Peyton What marveled me the most about Gloria Watson was the fact that She wasn't just a forex expert, she is also into Forex/Crypto and other larger investments She is the one behind my successful investments. As I have been investing with her since then now I can venture into real estate with the profits made from trading with her.

[@alistrealestategroupllc4832]

Took me 7 years to start making 6 figures in Real Estate as an agent, And I only have been doing it full time for the last 2 years. Needless to say its not easy! To get the 6 figures, I worked with Buyers, and leasing all while doing locating at the same time. In order to make it you have to scale your marketing, get a coach, and a TC. You will be fine just keep at it!

[@ChastinJMiles]

That is awesome! Thank you for sharing.

[@Dylan2996oct]

Here in Canada it takes about a year to get your realtor license as it is now through a college program. So my word of advice would be to envision your first year as a realtor as the 2nd year of education. Don't be hard on yourself and quit too soon. It takes that entire first year to build up your business. Buckle down and pull through! This career path has a slow build up but exponential return.

[@z06cali29]

My first year in real estate I closed 1 rental transaction for $500 and I never got paid for that transaction. My second year i closed 5 rental transactions and 1 sale transaction earning about $25,000. I'm in my third year and my goal is to close 30 sales transactions for the year

[@MsNorthCarolina]

Thank you Chastin for giving us the REAL on this industry! As a new agenr and watching your videos I learned to tap into RENTERS, they don't promote this market as you're getting started it's all about getting a listing! And for new agents a rental transaction is key in how you are going to be dealing with other agents and all different types of people out here. I market to Renters turning them into homeowners. Thats my niche and Thank you for talking about it my 2019 is about to be🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@everythingbyjohn]

Chastin J. Miles actually I'm getting ready to switch offices. I'm at a small office, just me and the broker, no listings, resources or training. So I'm interviewing with new offices now. Been there for almost 4 months And on my 3rd lease. And I'm looking to focus mainly on retail spaces from now on. But in terms of activities, I was mainly posting ads on social media and Craigslist. And also going to networking events here and there. In the commercial side of real estate, especially in nyc, it's harder to prospect for leads because theres not really sites like naked apartments or realtor.com that are dedicated to clients looking for spaces.

[@KarenGoodmanstl]

Good for you for showing how little most agents make at the beginning. And while it sounds like we make so much per transaction, people forget that we have a lot of overhead and general expenses that we have to cover too. I've been selling homes for 18 years. I make a good living, but I also work every vacation, and am available for my clients every day and even weekend evenings if it's important. I've worked holidays and cancelled trips for clients. And we don't get paid a penny until the deal closes...so often that means we did a lot of work without being paid anything. And while real estate can be a good career, it's not easy. Ever.

[@ChastinJMiles]

You're absolutely correct. It really requires a lot of hard work if you want to earn.

[@MichaelP-ke1tm]

You sound like a cry baby. You should be greatful that you have the priviledge to be self employed, work on your own and make a great living. What career is ever easy??? Packing groceries at walmart for 8 hours a day isn't easy. Nothing in life is easy. Stop complaining and be greatful you live in a country with opportunities. There are millions of people who work on holidays snowflake. The world's economy has to keep moving even on holidays.

[@KarenGoodmanstl]

@@MichaelP-ke1tm Not a crybaby at all. Thankful that my work has allowed me the career I've built. But I also risk making nothing while I spend money, which someone working at Walmart isn't risking that. No insurance, no paid holidays, no sick time. But I'm ok with that. I'm just glad that Chastin shared that it isn't easy money. So many people do think it is, and are surprised when they spend time and money and then don't make enough money to live. This video will hopefully allow people thinking about real estate to make a more informed decision.

[@MichaelP-ke1tm]

@@KarenGoodmanstl 1. Benefits are overrated. If one is making 6 figures, then he or she can make their own "benefits" through investments. 2. No self employed worker has job security. Being an entrepreneur means one is giving up the job "security" of a 9-5 which is still a false sense of security. 3. To be successful at ANYTHING takes a lot of work and for anyone to be naive enough to think they'll be rich after 1 month in the Real Estate industry is foolish. There is nothing in the world that doesn't take effort to accomplish but I'd sure as hell rather work on my own making peanuts for a few years before becoming wealthy rather than have someone tell me what to do for 8 hours a day or work in a coal mine.

It sounds like your "mentor" didn't really do much for you! My mentor was a good friend of mine from high school. When I first got my license in February of 2019 he taught me the ropes of lead generation and "what to say" and "what not to say". I actually booked my first listing appointment within an hour of the first day I made calls! I too started my career with KW and as I'm sure anyone who's reading this knows, they hammer home to learn their scripts. I took BOLD, and took absolutely nothing away from it other than I felt like I didn't belong. Fast forward to October, I joined a cloud based brokerage based out of MA called Clockhouse Realty where they offered a great commission split, zero desk fees and you cap at 6k. Fast forward to my 1 year anniversary, I closed just over 2.3m in sales! For any new agents out there, just keep pushing! Call expired and cancelled listings DAILY. When you're in a store and you hear someone mention anything related to a house/condo/real estate in general; talk with them! Since my 1 year anniversary (February of this year to today) I've written just under 4.3m. Again, just keep pushing!!

[@JarosawKantorDoradcaRN]

I live in Poland, but I had also worked for a such company like the KW mentioned, but smaller. When I noticed that it is not "KW" who sells, but me, I quit and started my own real estate business. The beginning was hard, but the first thing I have learned was that in the real estate you have to work hard ... be persistent and ... patient. Then it's all downhill from there.

[@ChastinJMiles]

Work hard, be persistent, be patient- All so true. Thanks for watching Jaroslaw.

[@TheKayleeanna]

Omgosh! Thank you! I feel so much better Chastin! You rock as always! I made 15k the 1st year and was feeling bad about it. What steps did you take to grow your business the following year?

[@ChastinJMiles]

Well I took a hard look at my business from the last year and took note of the things that got me those transactions and did more of them.

[@TheKayleeanna]

@@ChastinJMiles That makes sense. Mine were all SOI/referrals.

[@almmason7]

@@TheKayleeanna whats SOI ?

[@DesireeMonae]

Thank you for sharing!!! I received my license in May of this year and haven’t had a sale yet. Both transactions I was working both fell through. I’m still very optimistic and will remain persistent because I love the business!!

[@ChastinJMiles]

They will definitely come. Just stay active and continue working toward it. It's just a matter of time.

[@Jonathan-xn3rp]

One question. Where you working full time at the time?? Or part time. How many hours did you spend a week?

[@Lily-my6mw]

Thank you for being honest about this! so many people who don't want to talk about it, but there is nothing wrong with telling about the struggle and most important raising above it and inspiring people!!!

[@ChastinJMiles]

Thank you. I really appreciate that.

[@upperechelon2283]

Good video (Rome wasn't built in one day )momentum comes from movement keep networking and strengthening your weakness.Blessings & progress

[@ChastinJMiles]

Thank you so much!

[@Kayleen1989]

I'm getting ready to sign up for real estate school. I searched for the school to gather more information and ran across your videos. Your videos are so helpful!

[@chandlerleland7278]

Omg just found your channel!! This makes me look forward to real estate! Im just now getting my license

[@ChastinJMiles]

Good luck with your RE career then. Feel free to watch videos here in my channel to help you kick start :)

[@FerRod2113]

How is it so far?

[@ChastinJMiles]

Take a look kzbin.info/www/bejne/roSalotqncqJj80

[@cynthiaatwewontwobblealway9182]

Thank you so much. I pray your business is prospering well! I am googling real estate schools now in hopes of pursuing real estate in 2021.

[@ChastinJMiles]

You can do it!

[@TFallenAngle]

Amazing video I appreciated your personality and attitude!

[@THEahmedakram]

I always appreciate and respect transparency. Thanks for sharing your story. I'm happy to hear that you stuck with real estate and made it work in your favor.

[@ChastinJMiles]

Yep! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@tikalmatthews8450]

Glad you kept it real, looking into real estate

[@MrPsychopathYT]

This gives me hope. I'm starting in Los Angeles, grew up in SoCal (mostly introvert but partially extrovert), prices here are much higher and a shit ton of ppl here. I'm rly hoping I don't strike out as bad as you, plus commission here is higher but taxes are too

[@itsjustmedeedee6978]

Thaaaaaannnkkk you! I just passed my test the beginning of this month and am waiting until next year to start but, I find myself feeling torn and maybe having to compromise good training for $$. Your videos really address alot of the concerns that I have. Thanks! Also as far as a mentor go should they be someone with the same brokerage as you or can you chose who you like?

[@ChastinJMiles]

Congratulations! Yes, you can choose.

[@SerifTheBroker]

You are honest, good guy. Keep going on real estate, after 10 years you will see business will come to you directly.

[@ChastinJMiles]

Almost hitting that 10 year mark! 2 more years to go.

[@davidthomas6949]

3 years in, and way worse than you... im already 26, not getting any younger, and considering quitting for sometime. Not many people willing to help you in this industry. I need a mentor, someone to shadow me but I cant even find that without have to pay money I dont have! I dont qualify for credit cards, and I can barely afford rent so I am very much stuck. Im glad youre experiencing success man.

[@gugunation430]

Don't get yourself down! You can do it! Go on linked in and find a mentor. Ask to take them out to coffee, see where it goes. Get out of your comfort zone and take a chance to get noticed. Persistence Pays! Never give up!

[@GreekOrthodox7]

David Canavan of you’re considering quitting then just quit. Because you won’t make it anywhere if you have that kind of mindset. Or you can choose to keep going and don’t give up.

[@colebe9427]

❤️

[@ashjezbonilla7569]

Love how honest you are and very informative for someone who is coming into this buisness as a new agent

[@ChastinJMiles]

Thanks for watching. Happy to help.

[@dna-tv9064]

This is great!!!! Just like Gary Vee says. The process is the most important

[@samuelmejia9642]

Thank you Chastin, great video! I’m 18 and planning on getting my real estate license soon! Honestly those numbers, as an 18 year old with very few expenses, don’t sound too bad lol. Keep up the great work!

[@yung4ng3l]

Bro I’m crying 🤣🤣🤣 “my mentor”💀

[@RadiantRealty]

Thanks for the info Chastin. I'm considering a major occupational pivot and really appreciate your honesty.

[@daltondavis6481]

I love your mindset! Thank you for the videos.

[@Watitloklik]

Your a good dude I wish you nothing but the best keep pushing!!! I appreciate your honesty!!!

[@buffalorain2004]

This is the first time I AM SEEING YOUR video I have become a huge fan

[@ChastinJMiles]

YESSS!!!!!!! Glad to have you!

[@jordannathanielballourealtor]

This video has me sweating as I am studying for my fist of 3 pre exams. Gotta step up my game! Thanks Chastin for being real AF!

[@ChastinJMiles]

You got this!

[@karenevertsen1898]

Chastain J. Miles - very realistic, informative video for new agents and people considering getting into real estate.

[@fatiknight3369]

I’m exactly one month into school and for some reason agency is difficult for me. Your video is inspirational. Thanks

[@ChastinJMiles]

You got this!

[@enjoyyourself4120]

Were u doing it full time or part time?

[@sweetiepie1110]

It’s been a month for me now and so many fees and expensive are driving me crazy and I’m not popular so I don’t sell nothing I’ve thought about quitting thank you for showing the truth real estate is expensive and nobody tells you

[@ChastinJMiles]

Yep! I wrote a whole book on it. therealbeforetheestate.com

[@doawsavelli6320]

Thanks so much for sharing. I just got licensed in August and I'm so excited to get started :)

[@ChastinJMiles]

Sounds exciting! Good luck.

[@kaliyahindierra623]

Starting my first course of real estate classes this Saturday 🤍🤍🥳 ! Ahh I’m so excited

[@ChastinJMiles]

Nice congrats!!!

[@jjt5797]

Love your videos! You’re one of the reasons I’m in the business! I’m an apartment locator in Austin, Texas. Started in October, kept wondering how people were making 70-100k a year and always going on vacation and taking time off but now I do.. I didn’t lease anything my 1st month but I finally sat down, came up with a plan and started being more serious and I’ve had at least one client look and lease every day this week and this is considered the slow season so I know when it gets busy in January I’ll be ready! Business is definitely out there, you just have to find it or market yourself and let it find you! I just have to keep it going, next month I’m aiming for 6k! I’m definitely glad Austin offers this kind of service and I was able to start off doing this instead of trying to make it on the residential side! (& in March I will be going on my trip to Vegas, which I can’t thank you enough for!) 👏🤝 -Jameela

[@ChastinJMiles]

I am very happy to read your comment. Thanks for inspiring me to continue creating my videos. Enjoy your vacation :)

[@MichaelP-ke1tm]

What's an apartment locator?? A leasing agent???

[@marketingbybourey4526]

I definitely came across your video just because I want to do real estate. Eventually I want to work hard enough to be a ceo of a real estate business.

[@ChastinJMiles]

Awesome!

[@UpFlip]

I liked how you kept in real and raw in this video and talked about your experiences.

[@simplymarkiem]

So how did you start improving???

[@ChastinJMiles]

By getting into a rhythm of things that were working for me and doing those more instead of focusing and trying to do the things that weren't working.
