I think it's time to make it more appealing for potential buyers. Real estate can be quite the rollercoaster! the stress and uncertainty are getting to me. I think I'll cut rents to attract potential buyers and exit the market, but i'm at crossroads if to allocate the entire $680k liquidity value to my stock portfolio?
"Overall, buyers hold a lot of the cards right now, and sellers are having to give out more concessions to close a deal." All the best, buying on sale is actually one of the best ways to invest in stocks, and advisors are ideally suited for such task
Until the Fed clamps down even further I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now with financial markets will be best you seek a fin-professional with fiduciary responsibilities who knows about mortgage-backed securities for proper guidance.
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.
Again, my daughter's account. I am a RE agent in Vancouver. Things I have learned (I've been licensed for 4 years). 1. I never open and close pocket doors all the way. Once, in an open house for a townhouse a buyer went into the kitchen, then asked me if there was a door. I said yes! Pocket door! Pulled out the pocket door all the way and it jammed on the track. For 15 minutes I was trying to get this buyer out of the kitchen! 2. Although realtors may need to use the restroom during an open house, I avoid at ALL COSTS. You do not know the condition of toilet in an open house. This may be TMI, but once I had to use the bathroom (SO NOT CLOGWORTHY), flushed once, and the toilet OVERFLOWED onto the newly renovated marble bathroom. You think as a realtor this will never happen to you, but it can! THE WORST EVER! The toilet was likely not working properly to begin with. But never again will I take a pee while hosting an open house because of that! YIKES!
The biggest thing I learned from this video was 50% of investing is buying good companies at good prices and the other 50% is controlling your emotions when . market is moody.I realized that the secret to making a million is making better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new car or that vacation just yet and that mindset helps me make more money investing.
It's a great career! So glad you're learning all of the important stuff now...I can only imagine in the next year how you would grow. I've been in real estate for the past 7 years this year! 1) Time Management is soooo important! Try to get there before your clients, submit all your deals on time 2) Have a good CRM, FOLLOW UP!!!! Lol most of us get busy and we don't do this often! 3) Have fun in the process! 4) You will quit real estate like 5x a day LOOOOL Don't give up though, have a good crew of people around you...makes your transaction smoother...And yea do say No to clients...you can't work with everyone :)
I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!
One strategy for protecting against a recession is to buy equities. Investors, especially during a recession, need to know where and how to put money in order to make money while avoiding inflation.
It has never been easier to understand how to build your money than it is right now, when you may study and experience a completely variegated market passively by employing a successful portfolio-advisor. The impacts of the U.S. dollar's gain or fall on investtments, in my opinion, are complex.
Working with a Financial Advisor to help guide you on your wealth-building journey if you're just starting out is a wonderful way to get started and thats how i was able to accrued good gains . They helps to manage investment overall risk profile , prevent permanent loss of capital consider maintaining a broad diversification of your investments that reflects your personal risk tolerance, time horizon, and the nature of your financial goal
Carol Vivian Constable is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment..
Congrats on your 1st year! I'd be curious to get a breakdown of each of the deals you closed and how much you made as a result. Kinda like the "This is how much RUclips made me in 2022" videos.
you can research the percentage that real estate agents get for commission and look at the listing in her area to get a ballpark. her giving exact numbers may affect her future clientele.
Loved the video! My boyfriend and I are currently looking for a house now. I don't agree with the not bringing people though. My step dad comes with us to look at every house and does an informal inspection. My boyfriend and I know nothing about roofs, property drainage, load bearing walls etc. Yes we can get an inspector in after we put an offer but he has saved us a lot of money by finding these things first. Sometimes my boyfriend and I can get sucked in my pretty flooring, kitchens and bathrooms when the actual house is not well built and would take a lot of money to fix.
Can we just look at Monica’s hair! It’s gotten so amazing over the last year! I remember you having shoulder length hair. Can we please get a what you use on your hair video 😅
Congrats on almost a full year! Thank you so much for making this video! I plan on becoming a real estate agent soon and loved being able to avoid these mistakes in the future thanks to you!
Hi Monica, your video inspired me so much! I’m doing research on becoming a real estate agent, and luckily I found your video. I got my bachelor in Interior Design that I was super passionate about it, BUT there’s something feels off when I started my job. I think it’s time to try something new now!
Great video, Monica! I'm currently in the process of getting my license here in Ohio. Your videos are overall great, but your real estate videos have been super helpful! I think it would be pretty cool to see some videos on a) a financial breakdown on your first year in real estate and b) a sit down with Cyrus on some of his most important pieces of advice for agents, both new and seasoned. Thanks for everything and looking forward to what you have to offer in 2022!
Very interesting to see a big creator switch and go into traditional sales so to say. I’m working that other way around where I would want to focus mainly on just creating content and step back from the real estate sales aspect
Can you please talk about the privilege of showing properties for sale as opposed to properties for rent? And what did you have to do to omit that part?
Hey! I’ve noticed that you’ve had paid sponsorships with a few different laptop companies. And I assume only one of them is actually your go-to laptop. Can you do an unsponsored video sometime where you talk about your favorite tools and tech as a real estate agent?
@@tanmays7402 I passed! I haven’t chosen a broker yet as I’m in the process of moving to LA. But have has a bunch of zoom interviews and narrowed it down to my top 5. Will do in person interviews once I move.
Lovely recap. I am a new agent in Charleston SC. Still Navigating thru. I agree with mistake 2 and saying it took too long studying. Especially once I figured out HOW to study.
Opinion: Real Property professionals sell themselves to potential clients. You have that mastered. 😊 👍 The real estate property *seems* secondary, from my experience. 😊 Much future success to you. (Off to an outstanding start, at almost a year).
I agree with everything you said! Besides one thing I had a real estate agent that I fired over the fact that he didn’t like that my contractor was coming with me to look at my investment properties.
Choosing the right industry to invest is very critical, Most times, it amazes me greatly how I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over $83k per month. Utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years to doubt that opportunities are bound in the financial markets. The only thing is to know where to focus.
@Queen OF Love That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Mr Tony Alin berker my coach, you may have come across him on interviews relating to bitcoin. He trades, manage trading account and offer mentorship program for clients who wish to become professional investors.
Wow I can't believe you guys are discussing about Mr Tony Alin berker, I once met him at a conference in California 2019, just before the pandemic. I can testify that is very good in trading..Highly recommended.
@@roklin1 Well this not my first time of seeing this name on social platform. A CNBC news host spoke highly of this man and his trading strategies. Do you know him ? if yes , did you invest with him ?
@@thamad311 Yes i do, I've known him for couple of years , I'm still using his services , His management team is quite impressive so far.... with my $15,000 deposit, I made over $288,000 US Dollars profit with just 10% charge.....................
@Queen OF Love It's 100% safe and legal , He’s an expert trader on stocks and crypto. I basically do nothing but collect profits, he was able to get me in early on most of these stocks and I exited just at the right time, his analysis was really on point.
14:05 very well said , BUSINESS projection. Good overall videos , tell me more about - not saying yes to all , meaning sometimes it’s just not a good fit .
Awesome tips! Thank you! Could you make a video of how you generated leads when you first started? I'm a new agent but I don't have that strong of a social media platform. I am working on that but it takes time. You seemed to have taken off quickly. Any advice is appreciated!!!
Hi. My name is Stephanie , Steph for short . I know I am just a nobody here in the comments , but I definitely would want to maybe be friends. If not I understand . I hope you know you are amazing no matter what anyone else says and you have a purpose in life 💗 Stay beautiful and know that you are worthy always . Hope you have a Happy New Year
Ive been putting off my course for so long. It’s such a pain in the ass and I’ve heard people say that the test is super hard? So I’ve been putting so much effort into understanding every concept. Is it actually pretty easy? Also whats the one portion of the course you’d actually pay close attention to?
Thank you for mentioning the putting off the course, I've been doing that :( but this honestly motivated me to start again :) so hopefully I'll be done with it soon
You’re RUclips videos are awesome, however don’t pressure yourself trying to stick to whatever schedule. We’re happy to take whatever ever you can give us. Rather have a healthy Monica, than a burnt-out Monica.
I want to hear what you think about being a buyers agent and the conflict of interest there. It seems like whether you are the sellers agent or the buyers agent you are not incentivized to help the buyer get a good price or wait for a better house. Do you have any thoughts on this?
Thanks for the helpful videos ! I’m planning on getting my license in CA and I was wondering how you went about getting your first listings, ie was it through an agency or your own advertising? Thanks again !
Hi Monica! Long-time fan of your channel but I don't think I've commented before. In part thanks to your journey I've been inspired to consider a career change to real estate. One of the things that is the most intimidating to me though is prospecting. I'm curious how you approach it? Thanks!
17 deals in 10 months is decent. Would you say you got that mainly from your team or did you self generate? Also, It would be really interesting to know what kind of deal you have with your team if that's not too personal. Like how much he takes from you per deal
I put an offer on a home and want to add an escalation clause. I had a realtor write it out and don't like the way it looked. My escalation goes from 670000 up to 682000 but at the top of the contact it says "purchase price: 670,000" then only mentions the escalation clause at the very bottom of the contract. Is this standard? I don't want my offer to get over looked because I didn't format properly or in a way that catches the sellers eye. Any info would be helpful. Thank you.
I'm a real estate agent and it doesn't get overlooked. Contracts are standard for every state regardless of agency, so the all agents are familiar with the contract and are suppose to explain that to the client.
I've been an agent for a while now (10 years) and for me the worst is when you either get to a house and there's no key because the agent accidentally put it in their pocket and left OR you get back to the office and you have the key in your pocket because you accidentally pocketed it! I've done this a couple of times and had to run immediately back out and put the key back in the box. Luckily nobody has tried to show it and notified the agent that I did that yet. I just get involved in talking to my clients and do it without thinking!
I have a tip for you! When I show a home I put the key on a wristlet key chain I got from ace hardware. That way the key is always on my wrist so I wont lose it and when I go to drive away, If the keys on the wristlet still I see it right when I go to put my hand on the steering wheel.
@@natylights2394 I would say the hardest part is remembering to do everything when you have 2 or more deals going on. Keeping everything in order and making sure you complete tasks in the time frame you have scheduled.
Real estate's not my area, but I think a lot of the lessons you learned and shared can be applied everywhere. Especially time management stuff. And actually, if you ever share more tips/information on time management in a video, I'd be highly interested!
My advice for agents working in a major city such as Boston where I am is to take advantage of public transit. Driving in most major cities is such an aggravation. In addition to that, I don't trust other drivers especially in Boston.
I love your video it's so helpful however, I want to know how long it takes to get your license? also what was the name of the school you attended for real Esate
I’m currently studying for my license in TX, and binging all your videos. But my situation is a bit different because I’m a stay at home mom of a 1 year old right now and I’m nervous that I won’t be able to manage my time the best way possible :(
you don’t! haha… That’s the hard part of the job. My Dad’s in real estate. Some clients you show 20 houses to & they never buy. Some come out of the blue & buy something big sight unseen. It levels out but it’s a lot of work & frustration
@@xoxjelloxox I don't do it, my Dad does & he's in a pretty rural area. I was surprised Monica said she does say No. I guess that's an option. You could also recommend the client work with someone else if you're not finding what they need. Or you could just act too busy... haha not sure. That would be a good topic for a future video... how to say No. I find it hard IRL but I usually send people hints by not being available. I think my Dad has always said Yes :D I'll ask him about it

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

As an agent in a real estate you have to becareful in order not to make mistakes, once a mistake is done it can be very difficult to correct.

To achieve greatness, you need to start working with a Financial Advisor. Investing remains the smartest way to prepare for the future.
how do I get in touch with the adviser have lost a lot of money trying to invest myself.

My escalation goes from 670000 up to 682000 but at the top of the contact it says "purchase price: 670,000" then only mentions the escalation clause at the very bottom of the contract. Is this standard? I don't want my offer to get over looked because I didn't format properly or in a way that catches the sellers eye. Any info would be helpful. Thank you.
I'm a real estate agent and it doesn't get overlooked. Contracts are standard for every state regardless of agency, so the all agents are familiar with the contract and are suppose to explain that to the client.
BTW, in this market, everyone is doing an escalation clause when there is a bidding war.
Did you join a team right away ? Like how did you get so many leads to close 17 deals in your first year ?
I’m almost able to take my real estate license test. You inspired me to go into this field. I hope you keep making these videos!!
I've been an agent for a while now (10 years) and for me the worst is when you either get to a house and there's no key because the agent accidentally put it in their pocket and left OR you get back to the office and you have the key in your pocket because you accidentally pocketed it! I've done this a couple of times and had to run immediately back out and put the key back in the box. Luckily nobody has tried to show it and notified the agent that I did that yet. I just get involved in talking to my clients and do it without thinking!
Oh no! I’ve never done that but definitely see how easy that could be.
I have a tip for you! When I show a home I put the key on a wristlet key chain I got from ace hardware. That way the key is always on my wrist so I wont lose it and when I go to drive away, If the keys on the wristlet still I see it right when I go to put my hand on the steering wheel.
What’s the hardest part of been a real agent ?? If you don’t mind me asking😊
@@natylights2394 I would say the hardest part is remembering to do everything when you have 2 or more deals going on. Keeping everything in order and making sure you complete tasks in the time frame you have scheduled.
I’m not involved in real estate, but this is still really interesting to know! I also enjoy hearing from a native Seattleite as well
Real estate's not my area, but I think a lot of the lessons you learned and shared can be applied everywhere. Especially time management stuff. And actually, if you ever share more tips/information on time management in a video, I'd be highly interested!
My advice for agents working in a major city such as Boston where I am is to take advantage of public transit. Driving in most major cities is such an aggravation. In addition to that, I don't trust other drivers especially in Boston.
thanks for sharing.
I love your video it's so helpful however, I want to know how long it takes to get your license? also what was the name of the school you attended for real Esate
I think my one uncle was a realtor. He's very outgoing. A people person.
Where did you go to school to get your realtor license
New video idea: things your realtor wishes you knew about buying/selling houses
Congrats! I am at 7mo. Would love more of this content. What is it like working on a team?
Great tips. ♥️
Great video!!
Okay, I thought I was crazy for giving myself 20-25 mints lol I like to be there before and look around the area
LOOKING SO BEAUTIFUL
Thank you!!
Lol. Ive been working at my course since November. It's March. 😬
You look so happy!
I’m currently studying for my license in TX, and binging all your videos. But my situation is a bit different because I’m a stay at home mom of a 1 year old right now and I’m nervous that I won’t be able to manage my time the best way possible :(
Where in Texas are you located? Welcome to parenthood! We have a 18mo old and you can do this!
@@mclemoreteam9716 Austin! My daughter is 15 months :)
I'm currently afraid of this too. I have a 15 month old and I also have 3 school aged kids.
I need a “oh now your a real estate agent” what now? Beginner tips pleaseeeee
Great points
THATS WHY ITS A RECONKING TO ACTUALLY SEE HOW MUCH BETTER YOUR LIFE IS AS A RUclipsR INSTEAD OF DOING AN ACTUAL JOB WORKING FOR SOMEONE ELSE
Love this video, out of curiosity will you be dedicating this Chanel to real estate ?
I don't think is a good idea to hangout with a client ever not even after a sell .
How do you say no to a potential client?
you don’t! haha… That’s the hard part of the job. My Dad’s in real estate. Some clients you show 20 houses to & they never buy. Some come out of the blue & buy something big sight unseen. It levels out but it’s a lot of work & frustration
@@davisneves how do you handle it mentally? I’d think I’d be hard to keep showing houses and keep a positive attitude
@@xoxjelloxox I don't do it, my Dad does & he's in a pretty rural area. I was surprised Monica said she does say No. I guess that's an option. You could also recommend the client work with someone else if you're not finding what they need. Or you could just act too busy... haha not sure. That would be a good topic for a future video... how to say No. I find it hard IRL but I usually send people hints by not being available. I think my Dad has always said Yes :D I'll ask him about it
Hi, Monica! I hope you are doing well with RUclips and real estate.
