How I Became a Realtor: My Story and Advice for Aspiring Agents
When I decided to become a real estate agent, I was looking for a fresh start. It was during the pandemic, and I needed a way to create something meaningful-not just for myself, but for my family. Four years later, I’m not only a successful agent but also a partner in my own brokerage.
If you’re thinking about getting into real estate, here’s what you’ll learn in this video:
1. The steps I took to get my license quickly (and what online courses worked best for me).
2. What they don’t tell you in real estate school-and why mentorship is essential.
3. How to choose a brokerage that sets you up for success.
4. The truth about why most agents fail-and how you can avoid that fate.
I know this career can feel overwhelming at first, but trust me, it’s worth it if you’re ready to put in the work. I’m sharing my story because I want you to succeed, too. If you have any questions, drop them in the comments or contact me directly-I’m happy to help.

This one haunted? Cause the camera kept glitching! I love these older homes…so much character!
That lower level is super nice and that beautiful fire place
Love this cozy, quaint house! I wonder if they could move the dining room into part of the living room, so easier to walk in the front door..? I saw a seating area in the living room. Ver nice.
Very nice house..nicely updated! Love the closets. This house is big! Very deceiving from the street view!
The beautiful staircase caught my eye right away. A house with “good bones”. Someone with the funds to cleanup, remodel, update, etc..could make this into a beautiful home. Put some siding on the house, add a little decor to that great outdoor front porch, & make it a nice home. Thank you for that showing. You’re always so upbeat about the properties, even if they need work..and I like that.
Both of the upstairs bathrooms I don't like the sinks along with the stairs and the sitting area that there is no railing.
Needs lots of work.
Thank you and Merry Christmas
Just subscribed after finding you on You Tube TV . I love how you show a home. You are well spoken and you show ALL the important things such as Mechanicals,, and roofing,, electric boxes.. I have watched one or two other realtors but the professionalism wasn’t there. Glad I found you. I love this home !! The remodel is Beautiful. The train added to a small town feel and would feel like home for me as I am from BERKELEY SPRINGS WEST VIRGINIA 💙💛. I’m 64. My Mother in law has lived in Pittsburgh all her life. She lives off of 51. Near Braddock💛🖤… I love Pittsburgh and if I could have I would have lived there,, but now I just visit . I’m so excited to do these tours with you. It’s much nicer then finding a listing through Zillow or others and then scrolling through the photos… touring it with you is just very nice. Honestly ,, the way you present a home could be the deciding point for some. So far there’s only been one home I just couldn’t like.. though your professionalism, did present it really well,, but it was so messy and too many things to mention lol. But you never skip a beat making it sound perfect ❤️ Do not retire from making videos because I HAVE NOT WATCHED MANY OTHER SHOWS since finding your channel. 💛🖤
I actually like the kitchen. Like the sink separate. No one will see the dirty dishes. Lol
That is an excellent point! Maybe that feature should go back in style.
I would imagine the neighbors' kids at your playground is a great reason to sell
life lesson: stay out of the big box stores and spend your money on cleaning and upkeep instead.
.sometimes it helps when some furniture is in the room. It gives definition to the room.Sometimes its hard to tell sizes of empty rooms.
@@blainerudy2255 I absolutely agree with you. That’s why when I list a house that’s already vacant a lot of times I will digitally stage the rooms so that someone can get a good perspective of how much furniture could fit in it.
The attic reminds me of a church. No bathroom on the firdt floor or even the laundry room is extremely inconvenient, covering up the fireplace /furnace whatever shouldnt have taken up wall space. It was done sloppy. That kitchen with no over head exhaust fan is a mistake waiting to happen. The whole house will be covered with greasy smoke residue in a years time. These are reasons why i hate remodels and prefer restoring instead.
I always loved these split ranch style homes! So warm and cozy. This house is perfect!
Interesting architecture but not crazy about the long bowling alley hallway. However, the former dining room is absolutely gorgeous & should be the living room. (And the family room could & should be a cozy combination dining room & library. There's no view & little light, so why make it the primary hang-out space?)
I was in Butler, recently, and there are a lot of beautiful old brick homes. This one needs to be freshened up a bit, but even the newest homes have features that I would change!
How much is the price and is this near drum pa. Thanks
Wow....that house is in amazing shape for it's age! Redfin lists it as being built in 1947. For the ridiculously low price, I couldn't come close to buying such a house in the New Orleans area.
Price?
It's under contract and closing in a few days, but it was listed at $299k.
Ok nah! I'm the only one notice how the gate closed with no wind? I have look at that part at least 3 times. I see ghost hunters coming over 😮
@@vickiejohnson6120 Hahaha. I hope the current owners aren’t having any super natural issues. I sold it for the previous owners. They had lived there for at least 10 years and I don’t think they were having any issues like that.
Exquisite taste!
@@kathymonica7516 I know she had it decorated absolutely beautifully
This is a beautiful house. I love individual rooms like this house has. It definitely needs a full cleaning throughout, then updating in some rooms, remove old carpet, etc..but it has good bones. The living room, dining, kitchen, and most first floor are great. Love a big eat in kitchen! Love all the windows. The mud room & laundry room are great spaces too. The third floor is cool, but needs some work to make into a bedroom or game room. If someone has the money to clean & update this house would become a beautiful home! Thank you!
@@YGardenRose thank you very much for watching!
Why do you call them a “Bump out window” and not a “Bay Window”? Looks like Bay Windows to me. What’s the difference?
They are very similar, usually bump out windows are smaller. In my mind I think of them as not having floor space where often bay windows will. But either way, they refer to the same concept. These could also be called bay windows especially since there are 3 windows in an angular shape.
Thank you!
Most cellphones have a flashlight. Just saying.
@@TerryMobley-sq3yh when I’m already recording, I can’t actually turn on the flashlight. I have to turn off the video turn on the flashlight and then turn back on the video. I’m not sure why it works that way.
May I ask what you got your masters in? i'm just curious
@@yvesfromloona3217 I have my bachelors of science and psychology and my masters in clinical counseling. I use the skills from counseling to uncover the needs of my clients to find them the right properties. Buying and selling a house can also be very stressful so those clinical techniques that I learned in my degree help me when communicating with my clients.
@@tarasa-hurley that's cool!! so could you also work as a licensed counselor if you wanted to as well?
Thank you so much for making this!!! You rock
Of course, I'd like to do some follow-up ones when I have some time to do. Getting licensed isn't very complicated, but the failure rate is pretty high. There's a lot of pitfalls. One of the major problems agents have is they don't know how to find clients. There are so many ways to do that, but it requires work.
@@tarasa-hurley i absolutely love homes and always have since i was young, but i don't enjoy working with people and have poor social skills so i don't think realty is for me, i wouldn't be a good salesperson lol. just trying to find a career that will be something i'm passionate for that i'd be capable of doing. it's very hard finding your purpose :/
Why is there a fireplace in the Garage?
It is ultimately because the garage used to be a storefront back in the 1970s.
You are so nice. You are an excellent realtor. Merry xmas😊😊😊
Thank you. I appreciate your kind words. Merry xmas!
Open staircase looks like a great place to take a tumble. I would change that but nothing else-very nice home!
The painted woodwork.☹️
A nightmare when it snows getting into and out of your driveway.
Sharing a garage? Nah
Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Tarasa just subscribed to your UA-cam channel a few weeks ago. And I absolutely love your house tours you do on these homes. I was wondering if you ever went into a haunted house and you didn't know it was haunted. And if you had any experiences in anyone of your homes that you toured? Doesn't hurt to ask.
Wow, i couldn't believe the price! Cant get a tiny home practically for this on the west coast. Beautiful, good luck ❤
@@mc2120Thanks very much. We do have a pretty good cost of living here in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as compared to other areas of the country.
It looks like the electrical panel is labeled-there's a taped-on list on the cover 😊
What happened to all of the beautiful trees that used to line Mckean St.? Looks very bland now. Not as nice without all the trees lining the street. Sad.
The listing says the annual taxes are over 7 thousand dollars! That’s insane!
@@davidelee8980 this property is in the North Allegheny School District, which is the 2nd highest rated public school district in the entire state so the higher taxes are due to the schools being outstanding and very desirable.
@ it’s still crazy, plus it’s a 444 % increase from last year! I don’t understand how they can be allowed to raise them that much at one time. Time to get out of PA.
The assessment didn't change from last year, but it did go up 2% from 2022 to 2023. Maybe a glitch in where you saw that info? I just pulled the tax records. A lot of people that are sensitive to property tax have been looking southern Butler county where it's a little cheaper.
Pennsylvania already has an average property tax rate of 1.36× the national. Some areas within PA are higher. I absolutely love Pennsylvania, and go there often. But the taxes are too high -- especially the 4.5% inheritance tax, which jumps to 14.5% if the inheritor is anyone except a child.
The home is beautiful don't. Like. The. Dinning room. And kitchen. Area. I want them separate. With eat in. Kitchen. I don't like open. Space. I built. My home with separation.
Beautiful home
You always know how to present the homes perfectly. Love your videos.
@@jamesHazel-b2n thank you so much that is very kind
Another informative video , they are always so well done , lovely home ❤
Thank you for watching!
Your suggestion about changing the porch area into a master suite is a great idea. Right after you mentioned that, I thought that's what I would do and use the upstairs bedrooms for guest. Nice house and property.
I'm glad you thought so too. The great thing about this location and yard is that expanding this house is totally doable and a great investment for the area since its super desirable. Thanks for your comment!
You present the home very nicely. Very professional ✊🏻
Thank you! I try to show every detail.
So cute! I love the layout and the yard. All of the updates are great too!
I know, it's a great one! And I love the yard too, perfect for a entertaining.
Thank you for the video
Thanks for watching!
🙌😳😁Thank You!! “It’s Very! Very Large Outside And Inside For A Big Family!!😁
This backyard is one of my favorites I've toured. So much space.
I loved everything about this house especially the finished basement! Just stunning and well taken care of!
I think the basement really adds a lot of value for this house.
Lovely
