Your advice just convinced me to go with the Agency that offers me more training, support, and mentorship, compared to going with the smaller Agency with higher commission split. I spoke with both and at first the higher split was alluring. Now fully understanding the dynamic of what it means being a new agent I am 100% convinced having more support and mentorship with a successful agent is far more valuable. It's not nessacarily what I earn, but what I will learn. Just like it's not nesscarily what I know, but who I know... and what THEY know!
The perspective on this video is pure gold! I was lead to you channel from Loida Velasquez & this just makes me even more excited for a beautiful future in the real estate business. Thank you for sharing the value. Blessings!
A valuable lesson for business and life, in general, is learning what not to do first. Yes, we all make mistakes and it's important to learn from them and move on as quickly as possible, but if we do our homework and listen to experienced professionals like Kevin who take the time to share such useful and powerful knowledge from all they have learned, we can make better use of our time and make it count. That's why it's important that we all are willing to reach back after we achieve our dreams to help someone else achieve theirs. ✌😎
Hi Kevin I been an RE agent for 8 months I been working with mostly buyers 3 listing appointments two of them wanted to sell, but did not qualified for a new loan, y the other one was not motivated to pay listing commission 😮! So far no sells, even with marketing myself on social media. I know it takes a lot of time and effort to get a new business going 😅 Thank you so much for your help ❤
Thanks for your advice, Kevin. I am currently studying to get my license here in NJ. This was very insightful. I hope to find people like you along the way.
I just started listening to you and really enjoy your style of teaching. You make it so clear on what it takes to make it in Real estate. Thank you for sharing your knowledge .
Ty for the advice , i have plan to transform my self from being 18 years chef to be a real estate broker , i m so blind about this kind business but i believe my self that i could be GREAT on this . I hope i could found a good mentor .
I am currently about to start my real estate course, I am so nervous to start this pathway, but I am going in with the mindset I want to succeed, once I do I will come back to this video and give an update 😅😅 wish me luck guys!!!!!!! FYI Ive been motivated watching your videos
These things makes Sense Mr.Kevin Ward. I am about to get a Job as an Agent. But TBH I haven’t tried this. It’s kinda Scary but I watched You now. And I am gonna put all into trial and see. I am sure I’ll be successful in a Short Period Soon. Thank You for ur Advice. And May God Bless.👍😁👏
Holy smokes, bud! Love your energy. I would follow you on bloody stumps through the snow as a mentee. I'm in that spot too, like you mentioned, sink or swim and back against the wall. Failure is not an option! I'm over halfway complete with pre-licensee education. Not quite sure in parallel to all this what I should be doing additionally or working on during this time, researching brokers, etc, but I will see you on the live event next month from behind my computer. Just got my ticket! Aces high.
Hey man, just started watching your videos here and wanted to say that you are a great man, a great motivator. I gave up my low paying job and started in a real estate company at a menial salary. It's my 4th day and was feeling like lost, completely blank and feeling useless watching others of my age working so well. But i'll, just like your advised will go to a senior agent now and request him to become my mentor. Please let me know how can I have a chat with you. Thanks
You are so smart and energetic. And that’s how I want to start.. exactly how I imagine, but you put all those points in organized ideas and words. The real state is something that really passionate me, since I arrived to the United States 14 years ago. Now I decided to finally do it. It is my passion and I will give everything as you did. Thank you very much and I wish you much success 👍🏻 And for sure, you are going to be one of my mentors.
New agents (at least in NYC) have to work under sponsoring brokers. Ad no sponsoring broker would allow them to take deals for free bc most of agents split the commission with the broker. Most of brokers don't even allow to go for a deal with less than 6% commission
I am still in classes so please excuse my ignorance. In your example of the agent in PHX who brought the buyer to the listing where he is essentially rebating his commission to the buyer's agent, isn't that dual agency? He is representing the buyer and the seller in the same transaction?
I LOVE to see people sharpened, motivated, and ready to seek their greater goals in life. Wish you all the best! Thanks for another great video Kevin, and wishing you all perseverance and fierce determination towards your vision!🔥👍
Thank you for sharing this note. Her story sounds very similar to mine. I am/have been relying on Plan B. Now I have a position not making nearly as much, but I can pay my expenses and for a few tools necessary to assist me in getting my closings. I'm going all in because I want to be done w/ this dual life style asap. I'm all in Real Estate.
i have an architectural background and 9 years tech sales experience but im wanting to go into real estate. My mind set is to be a Sponge and learn as much as possible. Will this be the right mindset?
Thank you! For the past 3 weeks, I have been researching (deeply) how to start as a professional real estate agent who has knoweldge. I have yet to buy the courses online and study. The fact is; if I don't know the field, what am I studying for? I am one who never dives head first into anything. I research, study and take classes before I begin studying for whatever the goal is. Well, I have chosen you as a mentor to learn from for the past 2 weeks. I have chose many mentor from whom I am getting what I need to know to be successful. I know more about real-estate today than I did 3 weeks ago. I have read multiple books, listened to interviews, watched videos and have taken extensive notes that I keep building on every day. I am looking forward to the next 3 weeks when I have the extensive knowldege necessary to be better than the 20% who do make it. I am very much interested in taking your seminar class when it is available and to sit front and center. I hope that you read this message and reply.
Thank you for being so open and honest. I’ve been investing in real estate, closing mortgages and doing titles but started first day as an agent today. This was really helpful.
Thank you first time hearing you Kevin. I like you straight up approach I have been in the business for 11 yrs and I certainly agree that you need to do that to get Credibility. I think in this day and age you need to be different from the other agents to make them go after your service. I enjoyed your video.
Just finding your content and it’s exemplary. I’m currently working on my PA real estate license (started 1/10/21 actually) and I’m learning so much. I’m so eager to dive more into your content and learn more from a mind such as yours. Blessings.
Genius business tactic from your top producing friend. Thank you so much for sharing Kevin. I will be applying once I get my license. Thanks for being awesome!
Soy nuevo en bienes raices, tengo 68 años y no tengo idea de cómo comenzar. Pero me haz volado la cabeza con tu experiencia. Gracias por tu guía. Veremos como tomas este mensaje en español.
I really like everything that you are saying. It is very informative and concise. But what I really like is your suit. I appreciate you demonstrate that dressing in a professional manner is important as a business person. Thank you. I look forward to learning more from you.
man honestly you'll probably never see this so ill keep it short and to the point im starting my journey and would love to sit face to face for a conversation. Truly thanks for the free content it has been helpful to say the least. god bless.
I have a question pertaining to this video lesson. I love your explanation on how to handle the buyer issue with FSBOs and I love how you teach honesty. I am wondering, however, what happens if you do not get the asking price and the funds the seller wanted or what if it does not sell in the time frame that you promise? How can we honestly say any of that will happen? Furthermore if any of the promises fall through, you now have a bad name for making promises you cant keep.Any thoughts on this?
Subscribing! I just passed my Real Estate Exam yesterday and Im excited to get started. It is very nerve racking to go ALL in from the start. I am 26 years old, no kids & no wife, and also dont have a huge stack in savings. It is literally sink or swim for me and I'm a hell of a swimmer. Any advice that isn't in the video for my first year feel free to comment! I have a plan and a list of 50 potential clients but anything that will help, I am all ears!
I want to become a real estate agent. I found the information on this video very helpful and interesting. Currently, I am studying for the licensing exam. The class is covering agent client agreement forms. I am trying to understand the legalities of offering your commission to a buyers agent. How is that worded on the agreement form and would that make him a dual agent? If so as long as his state of license allows him to be a dual agent, that’s ok. Right? Please, be easy on me. I’m just trying to make sense of it all. Thanks for you help!
What if you have a mentor that has a great history of listing & selling homes, and does not return your calls for assistance as.a new.agent. Do you look for another mentor within your Brokerage to succeed ?
That's a great handling of that question when you negotiate to take a listing! What if you have low-ball offer and the seller needs to sell and then he says: "I need to sell the house and I'm already losing money if I sell it so cheap! Let's all take the downside of that offer in order to have a deal! You will lower your commission and you will make a little less money just like me but at least we will have a deal!" What would you respond to that?!
Great advice. I started at a place w 80/20 split capped at $15k. No support. Moved to a place w 70/30 split, cap at $22k. Great support. Guess where I did better?
What if I was the director of marketing for the largest apartment locator in my state, then I get licensing to become an apartment locator? I'm sort of struggling with what you're saying.
I just found out about you yesterday, and I'm hooked on you already. Such amazing content and value. I just became a Realtor officially today.

Congratulations 🍾 let’s us know how it goes for you 😀😀😀
Congratulations! Enjoy the fun world of Real Estate. It's awesome
Dude congrats!
Me too!! He is great!
So how has your first 3 months as an agent been?
“Starting too smart” powerful.
Your advice just convinced me to go with the Agency that offers me more training, support, and mentorship, compared to going with the smaller Agency with higher commission split.

It's not nessacarily what I earn, but what I will learn. Just like it's not nesscarily what I know, but who I know... and what THEY know!
What is your split if you don’t mind me asking.
i was a wholesaler and now am an agent i could never live with my self as a lying deceitful wholesaler now i genuinely help people
I’m on the same path. Just passed my exam and shopping brokers to do exactly that!
Same here@@RyanONeill86

Finding a morally ethic top producer to allow a rookie to shadow/or even pay them for their knowledge has been the hardest part.....ugh
Thank you very much for this! You really helped me out!

Have fun! Hope all is going well in your market

Well done. Thank you Sir.

Thank you for being so open and honest. I’ve been investing in real estate, closing mortgages and doing titles but started first day as an agent today. This was really helpful.
when talking about splits as a brand new agent what would you consider reasonable ?
I'm going to class in April here in Orlando I can't wait I'm also a bit anxious
Thank you so much.

Most couraging vid out there about getting into RE!!
Great tips, thank you for sharing :)
Thank you! Very helpful!
Awesome Video, I’m in real estate school now and I’m soo excited.
I needed this!
I think you are the real deal!

So amazing! Thank you for this video. Great information.
You are very smart .tecing real estate 😍💪💪
Great video! I’m a real estate agent and this video is very informative! Keep ‘me coming! New subscriber here!
This is the best video ever, love the phrase “start stupid its ok😂🤪😀🤟 thats my thinking too,
Very good advice
Full time, no plan b is the way !!!
All relationships work better when I fully commit. My motto is -If it's not true love, it's not worth it.
As a new individual, should I pick a mentor that is also an individual agent(not part of a team)?
So what does it take to start fast? Can we get some details?
hard work, (Training everyday, Learning everyday, Prospecting everyday, believing everyday) and Find someone that actually wants to help you
thanku sir🙂
Good stuff! Thanks!
Ha what brokerage would ever allow you to offer all your commission out to the buyer agent?
Very strong and powerfully tools thank you 🙏
Loving these practical business practices for all businesses. Seems like successful agents have some of the most discipline mindsets.
Impactful 🙏
How do you find a mentor??
Makes sense - very nice

please tell us who that agent is in the Phoenix area that was offering 100% of the commission to the agent who brought the buyers to the sellers?!
Cool ideas to think outside the box to get street cred! Very cool!
