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'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!
Remarkable for 1st year agent. Congratulations. You're on fire. I certainly didn't have your success my 1st year. You've proven (what I have heard over and over), UA-cam is vital!
I just started in April 2022 and sold 4 houses by August. I know it's not as much as you but I couldn't believe I was capable of that. And I could have closed more but as a newbie I didn't want to overwhelm myself. It took lots of hard work but I am going to stick with it. I have 4 kids and juggling work and family is challenging but the paychecks are so worth it
@@marymathews2741 I only studied a lot when i went for the first time last year but the second time was so easy, all thanks to my aunt who introduced me to Mrs Catherina Alison am really grateful
Real Estate exams won't bother you or be a problem if you work with someone like Mrs Catherina... She's God sent, she saved me from taking the test for the 3rd time
I'm a living testimony of Mrs Catherina, she has helped me achieve my dream of becoming a licienced Real Estate Agent, i encourage those who find it difficult to pass the Real Estate exams to work with her and thank me later
Monica, I love how transparent you’ve been about your journey and your income. As a young working professional, I find your videos inspirational. I know you’ve gotten hate for your success, but I want you to know that you have a market and you’ve reached us.
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 an agent and my first year I made like 10k 🤣 I’m in my third year and I’m only at around 50k so far! I’m in west Texas and medium home prices are around 220k. Definitely take that in mind if it’s not going as great for you :)
Oof lol. No wonder everyone is moving to LA for higher income. Some guy said to me at the airport. Thank god I moved here for better income. I was like ok lol. You do you lol
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..
Hey Van,Investing typically demands a good understanding, and that's where having a financial consultant is invaluable. I've had the privilege of working with Regina Louise Collaro, an investment advisor affiliated with a licensed wealth management firm.
Her guidance has significantly enhanced my financial situation. She's widely recognized for her expertise, so you might have come across her name. With her support, I've attained financial security and now receive a steady monthly income through her successful passive income approach. I strongly advise considering an experienced investment advisor to boost your financial prospects.
Regina Louise Collaro is based in the United States and can work with anybody wherever they stay. If you would like more information on reaching her, you can conduct a search online on her name😊
Cathenido this is crazy 😧,you are correct, and I am only one of many who gained from working with Regina Louise Collaro. I had no reason to live when I lost my job due to COVID in 2020, and it will always be a memorable year in my life. Regina made it possible for me to live comfortably through passive income, thus I owe her my life. To be completely honest, I think she is an angel who was sent to help those who are struggling financially
I have had the intentions of starting investing. But I always thought it was late and I think I need to stop procrastinating. I will definitely 🔍 Regina Louise Collaro and see what she can advise .Thanks a lot . This was of so much help to me .
It was hard work but what really made her successful was that she already had a presence on UA-cam 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.
@Jerry Schmidt You must've not worked hard enough, or gave up too soon. Awful advice. ANYONE- if you have drive and realize the business is a 3yr + plan, you will succeed. No harm in starting part time.
@Jerry Schmidt Real estate is definitely a grind. It's not a fair business either at times. It's not for everyone and that is ok. The key is for those struggling to give themselves grace and not let the business get them down.

Watching this, and hearing tou talking about extending your buisness further into coaching, it's so clear that you EARNED this sucsess. You worked for years to develop your channel and then worked so hard to study to be an agent. Now you're looking to the future to help people?! Girlie, you're KILLING it.
Its worse here, our economy is like a flailing fish, fighting for its life. The normal state of the U.S. economy is actually very bad. Because of this it goes into convulsive spasms fighting to grow any way it can out of desperation. Tricks, gimmicks, rule changes try to stimulate the economy and prevent it from falling but they only bring temporary relief to people since, when you factor in inflation we are declining.
People believe their currency has the worth it does because they have no other option. Even in a hyperinflationary environment, individuals must continue to use their hyperinflationary currency since they likely have minimal access to other currencies or gold/silver coins.

I've tried investing in the stock market several times but always got discouraged by fluctuations of stock value. I would be happy if you could advise me based on how you went about yours, as I am ready to go the passive income path.!!
Angela Lynn Schilling is her name. She is regarded as a genius in her area and works for Empower Financial Services. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
I don’t know that a UA-cam channel is a prerequisite for becoming a realtor. However, Monica was very smart to use it to get leads. As an existing homeowner I don’t know that I’d know where to start in selling my home, but trusting a realtor is the most important trait I’d look for, and Monica gives me that sense of security that her clients are in good hands and she knows what she’s doing.
Making almost 200k your first year is insane. People struggling to make 50k their first year. Making 100k your first year is a huge accomplishment but she exceeded that.
The first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance - either on your own or with the help of a Financial Advisor. If you can get the facts about savings and investing with a well detailed plan, you should be able to gain financial security over the years and enjoy the benefits of managing your income.
When Monica realise video where she speaks about how much she spent last year she mentioned that was about 90+ thousand if I remembered and that was 20% of her income. Now she said that she earned 195k from real estate. So from year where she's not spent to much attention (by her own statement) to making youtube videos, she earned more than a half of yearly income from youtube. That is fantastic! And also this kind of videos is great, and Monica and also Shelby are great at this 👍🏻👏🏻
As amazing as this is, I'd love to know the average figures for a non-UA-camr real estate agent! I hope people don't watch this video and then feel disheartened that they don't have a UA-cam channel that affects all areas, because it is obvious that you genuinely do work so hard, and it's paid off, Monica!!
Good point. I just googled it and Glassdoor says $57k-$180k per year is the range in Seattle where she lives. So maybe $100k is about average for the year?
excellent point bc the average person selling real estate doesn’t go in with that much youtube clout and the time it takes to build your yt on top of what time real estate takes, the first year figures would not be that high for sure
I’m located in Dallas texas as a Realtor. My first year I made $20k. But I’m in my third year now and haven’t given up and have made $70k so far this year
Hard work and good luck are not mutually exclusive. A lot of people can bust their ass and never see the same level of success because other factors will never be equal. You've worked hard and made smart business decisions, AND I'm sure you've also benefitted from circumstances outside your control.
Yup. A lot of people have a hard time saying that and it’s a little strange. It doesn’t magically mean you didn’t work hard but often there are people who worked even harder that don’t have a fraction of the success. It’s just a part of living on planet earth.
100% agree. I think a lot of people in the world work hard. But some are extremely lucky and the skills that they are naturally drawn to/ are good at just happen to be lucrative. There are amazing teachers out there who work insanely hard but may never break 6 figures. Nothing wrong with admitting that you’re lucky.
Exactly. Plus honestly being white is always the best benefit.. a lot use it to their advantage. Having white privilege OPENS A LOT OF DOORS and gets certain ppl in spaces non white ppl don’t have excess to. Where others may have to work EXTRA HARD, and never be as successful after years of hard work..
@@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 UA-camrs 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 UA-camr 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. Even if your immediate regional demographics aren't in your favor, because UA-cam is a global platform you can find a significant global audience to build a social media brand.
I had same challenges when I just started trading. However I got better but now I just trade with Sir Graham David Fullerton. He is amazing and very good at what he does.
Well Monica, I said you had a talent, and you would succeed. I was right with my estimate of your income $200,000 I believe. Not because it was a guess, but because I knew your capability. You did the classic approach to be successful and that is to leverage off your existing skills to attract the sales. Excellent work Monica. The world is your oyster. Let's see where you go next. 💰💰
Monica! You may not read this, but all your RE related content I absolutely love. You've helped me throughout my own real estate licensing here in Vancouver! :D
I want to start investing. Is it safe to start now, or should I wait until the end of this possible correction/bear market, despite the economic crisis facing the world, is this the right time to invest in stock,Gold/crypto?
Feels Great to see you guys talking about melisa pamela perez. Well, I'm not bothered with the fluentuaction in the Market is turning out, Melisa pamela perez got me covered too.
@Jeffrey Harmon ✪ This is a shocker seeing melisa pamela perez is being mentioned here. I always had mixed feelings about hiring a lnvestment advisor. For the record, I started working with melisa in 2019, and she manages about 70% of my lnvestments, while I manage the other 30%. My philosophy is that I care more about my own money than anyone else, but she made me accept that they have wealth of information on current conditions and future trends
Trading and minimizing losses was also possible for me thanks to melisa pamela perez, Glad to see this, her work ethic speaks for itself. so does people too. an amazing IA.
I’m studying now to take my course soon and get licensed by the state and become a agent this was helpful and I will continue to watch more of ur videos giving myself 2 years to get into my first year of homes
I did watch a recent video where you were considering coming to NYC to work for a Real estate agent here. My comment on that video was you consider all angels on the offer. Having watched this video I am even more convinced that you should stay put I. where you are. I do love your idea of "coaching" others one to one. Isn't going to float in NYC. I know I worked in this field for a long (successful) time. Wish you well going in to the future and IF you land up in my hometown I with you the perseverance to work hard and luck as well.
I'm going to take my real estate state test soon and I'm about to be homeless in a few weeks. I'm trying to be focus and I got that positive motivation from you . Thank you for the motivation !
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 UA-cam 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!
My mom decided to go to school to get her real estate license, and I decided to follow her lead and then I remembered Shelby had a twin who was a real estate agent, so now me and my mom are both watching you for tips 😂💕
I've never seen someone be able to bring in money so easily. I know it's hard work for sure but there are so many hard jobs in the world that pay pennies. I'm happy for you! Don't get me wrong, just blows my mind.
I agree with you and my husbands a realtor. Now don’t get me wrong, it’s a stressful career wanting to please clients all the time, but once you get it off the ground and it takes off, it does seem “easy” to make 20K at time. However, keep in mind, most agents fail, only top producers make the real money.
@@kimberlygonzalez3148 Yes from what she said in the video she became an agent after knowing how many people will contact her to sell them houses off of her youtube channel.
Hi Monica, I am real estate agent in New Jersey I’ve been in the business for about 2 years now and I’m relocating to Seattle this summer. I’m considering joining Coldwell Banker Bain and was curious your thoughts on the company and what they have to offer and your experience with them
Wow in Australia it used to be a 60/40 split. You get the 40%. We worked 7 days a week generally from 7am till 9p.m often well over 80 hour weeks. Today here (in Australia)houses sell themselves. The market here is crazy. Houses have more than doubled in 12 months.
This is really encouraging. I stopped practicing for my exam because I got discouraged and busy but hearing these numbers is insane. If I could do half as well I’d be happy
Having YT Leads certainly help, but she did work hard. I had FAR less business than her. I got my license in May and made almost $90k so far. Not a flex… just want to be transparent. Know that us non famous agents are able to do it too!
I really love this video but too bad This year isn't looking so good for the housing market. Already considering moving funds I have in the market to dividends which have shown commendable rise despite previous prediction to the contrary
A lot of stocks are down but there a few Key stocks that are having a bigger impact on the market than others. Target Walmart, Apple, Amazon, etc>> are all large caps that are down big!, I personally want a piece of each of them...
@Ramon leroy Exactly sir... Even though I had my share of ups and downs with stock, when I first started off finally reached out to an advisor(Meghan Ann Brudie) for help, following her>>™™ recommendation I dumped $50, 000 all in NIO and NVDA shares and call options, Up $200,000 so far!!

The crazy part is that those advisor are probably out>> performing the market and raising good returns but some are charging fees over fee's, draining your portfolio is this the case with yours too? ™™
@@emilialeonie5057 Honestly ma'am, Can't say I can relate Megan's charge is one-off and very much reasonable when compared to what I benefit from her expertise>>💯
I can't wait to make a living as an agent! I am 1 year in and made much less than I anticipated. However, I am building my clientele and will do much better my second year. I posted a similar video on my channel about how much I made my first year but it was pitiful how much I made...
I think it’s so interesting to see the “beauty gurus” I grew up watching in 2012 turn their brands into things they actually love doing! I’m so here for this and so proud to see your growth, from diving, to airstreams 😅 to real estate! 👏🏾💛
@@MonicaChurch I am really interested if you can make a video about your perspective of how things have changed in the Seattle market in the last 1-2 months and what direction you (and your team) see them headed.
Translation: I clicked on this video, and now I'm jealous and instead of congratulate you, I'm going to list the reason why you were successful in your first year 😑

I’m currently in the process of becoming a realtor and this has been so helpful I don’t believe anybody is really lucky, luck really means when opportunity meets preparedness and you have been preparing yourself by working and taking the time and effort to grow and opportunity’s came from it I would love to learn how I could use UA-cam as a platform to grow as a realtor.
I just want a career change. I like the idea of working at a computer, talking to people and the best part is i get to look inside houses lol. I like the idea of giving tours and advice.
Ngl, there’s so much ‘busy work’ involved that doesn’t move the needle at all. I’ve been trying to just focus on the ‘important’ activities that actually do something, and it’s been sort of working for the time being
Passing the Real Estate exam is when you study hard, if you can’t study or you don’t have time for your studies I’d advise you get yourself a help like Mr Mason Gomez.
I passed the state test (!!!) but never could pass the national test (tried 3x). It was so discouraging! But I know if I could pass, I would do a great job. This video was motivating!
@@tishtash5100 thank you for taking the time to type that out -- I appreciate it. At this point, I would have to take all the classes again before I could take the test. We'll see what happens! Last time, I took online classes and maybe I need to be sitting in an actual classroom.
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 UA-cam 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 UA-cam. I know some people move out of state etc but I feel like the industry is more a local based thing and UA-cam 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!!
Im still a college student pursuing my license at 18, is it possible to succeed the first couple of years by working part-time, or must you be very flexible?
Killing it! Honestly being agent is such a cool job, financial perks aside. Buying a home is one of, if not the most important purchase of people's lives and just being being in a position to guide them,, understand their needs and to hold their hand through the process is very fulfilling. Well done Monica!
You go, Monica!! I’m so happy for you. One of your hauls got me into watching UA-cam videos over ten years ago and to see all of your success is really inspiring. I’ve been in the restaurant industry for a while now, have been thinking about getting into real estate. Appreciate the video, and again, super happy for you!!!
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 😊
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.
I was a "Realtor" in Santa Clara County for 18 years....before youtube. In Santa Clara County there was 22,000 people in Real Estate, my competition...
Great job on your first year! That is a very successful year for a first year agent or for any agent. This is very inspiring for me (4th year agent in Boston) and best wishes to you always!
I love the transparency here! My old roommate did real estate and I hardly ever saw him because he was always working. It always struck me as such a cool thing to do, and I love that you dove into this and clearly have such passion for it! I just moved to Seattle and will probably be looking to buy in a year or two and I’ll definitely reach out then!
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 :-)
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
@@millennialx9044 I definitely understand. I’m in my first year as an agent. I watched tons of videos and articles about the most important questions to ask your broker before hanging your license. It helped me really know what I needed and deserve in a brokerage. I would’ve chose the compete wrong one had I not done that for sure 😂
Monica, hi there, how much taxes you had to pay? The reason i ask is for educational purposes, I want to be a real estate agent in the near future. Thank for your videos.
Anyone watching hoping to be a real estate agent needs to ignore this video. These results are far from typical. She got through with her connections. If you’re not a pretty woman with connections you will be working like a dog and be extremely fortunate to make even 50k a year. I’m glad she pointed out that her leads came from UA-cam where she was ALREADY successful and able to to easily pivot.
yeh, fast forward to the summer of 2024 and from what I read agents are starving, even in the wealthier areas. One study also showed over 40% of agents this year have not sold ONE house so far. NAR expects to lose at least 25% of their national membership.
Thank you for this video . I’m taking my real estate exam next month, and videos like that give you better explanation what you getting yourself into .
Monica I have really enjoyed watching your story evolve over the years. Through all the ups and downs, you have done so well for yourself and all the hard work has really paid off. Such a boss ❤️❤️❤️
This is awesome! You worked really hard and also I would say the luck in your journey was meeting your now boss during the process of purchasing your home and joining a great team and having great mentorship, tutelage. Keep up the great work!
I totally hear you that you worked your bum off and earned your way … cause obviously you have. but I don’t think that eliminates the element of luck. Success is often the intersection of hard work and lucky circumstances. I am sure you can think of a number of ways in which you are in fact lucky. Maybe that’s just me tho.
No of course not. She brought it up. I made a general comment about a perspective I have in life. Working hard is amazing. And it’s not always enough. Apparently that was offensive. Didn’t mean it to be.
@@tabithaaa6176 oh I misinterpreted. that’s a good perspective to have. Some call it luck, others call it chance, but i think it’s about seizing the opportunities you’re given
@@tabithaaa6176 exactly. Something I’ve noticed a lot of the early “beauty guru” type UA-camrs say they were able to gain a larger following because they started their channels early. There was a lot less competition. They had no way of knowing how big UA-cam could be or in some cases that they could make money. That’s an example of luck. It doesn’t magically make any of their work go away but it’s a piece of the puzzle.
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. So it's more like she leveraged her success on youtube and converted it to more success. 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.
Omgz love love love your video, I'm not an agent yet but I'm in the process of picking the school that will best prepare me for this new journey.... I have not started vidz yet but I will.... your video was so good and informative and realistic and that's the content that is needed to be projected... but I'm so determined and I will continue to follow you... I'm in FL and so it'll be cool to watch you in the paint.... Keep it up girl 😉 💪
Hi Monica, That’s incredible bc I had a neighbor who became a real estate agent and she was not as successful as you so she sold her unit and moved out. She was so arrogant and thought it was going to be so easy, but her biggest fail was that she did not network or go out and aggressively find buyers and home sellers. Another person that I know is also a real estate agent and he averages about 100k a year. That incredible too. You and your sister are so smart and great entrepreneurs. This finding customers through youtube is pure genius. Thanks for sharing your great ideas.
What I want to know is how you have all your clients capable of affording the current market. All of my clients have been and are continuesly being priced out. Our median homes price rised 40k in two months, and the rising interest rates demolished already doom first time home buyers. I use PPC for my lead generation, by the way. My prospecting has become very skilled with it, but it's to no avail. I guess it's just my market.
This is was helpful because a lot of brokers are telling me different things and telling me I cannot make 100,000 my first year. Which is my goal to make but first I want to learn the ins and outs of becoming a great agent first. I feel like giving up this gave me motivation again to continue.
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.
I’m interested I want to move to real estate investment can you help me ?.
Sounds great! please I will appreciate your assistance on how to go about it, who's your coach and how good is your coach?

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!
Remarkable for 1st year agent. Congratulations. You're on fire. I certainly didn't have your success my 1st year. You've proven (what I have heard over and over), UA-cam is vital!
I just started in April 2022 and sold 4 houses by August. I know it's not as much as you but I couldn't believe I was capable of that. And I could have closed more but as a newbie I didn't want to overwhelm myself. It took lots of hard work but I am going to stick with it. I have 4 kids and juggling work and family is challenging but the paychecks are so worth it
I would love to get more infos from you I’m basically in the same situation is there any way to reach you
That’s awesome. How did you do it?
Keep up the great work Crystal 👍🙏
Come don’t leave us high and dry atleast tell us what market your in ? Nyc ? Texas ?
Four houses is great! Congratulations!

@@marymathews2741 I only studied a lot when i went for the first time last year but the second time was so easy, all thanks to my aunt who introduced me to Mrs Catherina Alison am really grateful
Real Estate exams won't bother you or be a problem if you work with someone like Mrs Catherina... She's God sent, she saved me from taking the test for the 3rd time
I'm a living testimony of Mrs Catherina, she has helped me achieve my dream of becoming a licienced Real Estate Agent, i encourage those who find it difficult to pass the Real Estate exams to work with her and thank me later
Monica, I love how transparent you’ve been about your journey and your income. As a young working professional, I find your videos inspirational. I know you’ve gotten hate for your success, but I want you to know that you have a market and you’ve reached us.
Agreed, I hope you and I can be in her first coaching cohort together!
!!!
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 an agent and my first year I made like 10k 🤣 I’m in my third year and I’m only at around 50k so far! I’m in west Texas and medium home prices are around 220k. Definitely take that in mind if it’s not going as great for you :)
Oof lol. No wonder everyone is moving to LA for higher income. Some guy said to me at the airport. Thank god I moved here for better income. I was like ok lol. You do you lol

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..
Hey Van,Investing typically demands a good understanding, and that's where having a financial consultant is invaluable. I've had the privilege of working with Regina Louise Collaro, an investment advisor affiliated with a licensed wealth management firm.
Her guidance has significantly enhanced my financial situation. She's widely recognized for her expertise, so you might have come across her name. With her support, I've attained financial security and now receive a steady monthly income through her successful passive income approach. I strongly advise considering an experienced investment advisor to boost your financial prospects.
Regina Louise Collaro is based in the United States and can work with anybody wherever they stay. If you would like more information on reaching her, you can conduct a search online on her name😊
Cathenido this is crazy 😧,you are correct, and I am only one of many who gained from working with Regina Louise Collaro. I had no reason to live when I lost my job due to COVID in 2020, and it will always be a memorable year in my life. Regina made it possible for me to live comfortably through passive income, thus I owe her my life. To be completely honest, I think she is an angel who was sent to help those who are struggling financially
I have had the intentions of starting investing. But I always thought it was late and I think I need to stop procrastinating. I will definitely 🔍 Regina Louise Collaro and see what she can advise .Thanks a lot . This was of so much help to me .
It was hard work but what really made her successful was that she already had a presence on UA-cam 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.
@Jerry Schmidt You must've not worked hard enough, or gave up too soon. Awful advice. ANYONE- if you have drive and realize the business is a 3yr + plan, you will succeed. No harm in starting part time.
@Jerry Schmidt Real estate is definitely a grind. It's not a fair business either at times. It's not for everyone and that is ok. The key is for those struggling to give themselves grace and not let the business get them down.

your my favorite realtor on UA-cam! im a real estate student right now, the content you provide is very helpful.
Watching this, and hearing tou talking about extending your buisness further into coaching, it's so clear that you EARNED this sucsess. You worked for years to develop your channel and then worked so hard to study to be an agent. Now you're looking to the future to help people?! Girlie, you're KILLING it.
!!!!
If you are tenant or landlord, check our channel
Its worse here, our economy is like a flailing fish, fighting for its life. The normal state of the U.S. economy is actually very bad. Because of this it goes into convulsive spasms fighting to grow any way it can out of desperation. Tricks, gimmicks, rule changes try to stimulate the economy and prevent it from falling but they only bring temporary relief to people since, when you factor in inflation we are declining.
People believe their currency has the worth it does because they have no other option. Even in a hyperinflationary environment, individuals must continue to use their hyperinflationary currency since they likely have minimal access to other currencies or gold/silver coins.

I've tried investing in the stock market several times but always got discouraged by fluctuations of stock value. I would be happy if you could advise me based on how you went about yours, as I am ready to go the passive income path.!!
Angela Lynn Schilling is her name. She is regarded as a genius in her area and works for Empower Financial Services. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
I just looked her up on the web and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing. I will write her an email shortly.
I don’t know that a UA-cam channel is a prerequisite for becoming a realtor. However, Monica was very smart to use it to get leads. As an existing homeowner I don’t know that I’d know where to start in selling my home, but trusting a realtor is the most important trait I’d look for, and Monica gives me that sense of security that her clients are in good hands and she knows what she’s doing.
Making almost 200k your first year is insane. People struggling to make 50k their first year. Making 100k your first year is a huge accomplishment but she exceeded that.
The first step to successful investing is figuring
out your goals and risk tolerance - either on your own or with the help of a Financial Advisor. If you can get the facts about savings and investing with a well detailed plan, you should be able to gain financial security over the years and enjoy the benefits of managing your income.
I think the pandemic have really taught
people the importance of multiple streams
of income, unfortunately having a job
doesn't mean security.
Successful people don't become wealthy
overnight. What most people see as a
lance wealth, a great career and luxury is a
result of smart work.
@Ibrahim faizan Alright, so you know anyone?

@Dan Romero This just surprised me

When Monica realise video where she speaks about how much she spent last year she mentioned that was about 90+ thousand if I remembered and that was 20% of her income. Now she said that she earned 195k from real estate. So from year where she's not spent to much attention (by her own statement) to making youtube videos, she earned more than a half of yearly income from youtube. That is fantastic!
And also this kind of videos is great, and Monica and also Shelby are great at this 👍🏻👏🏻
As amazing as this is, I'd love to know the average figures for a non-UA-camr real estate agent! I hope people don't watch this video and then feel disheartened that they don't have a UA-cam channel that affects all areas, because it is obvious that you genuinely do work so hard, and it's paid off, Monica!!
Good point. I just googled it and Glassdoor says $57k-$180k per year is the range in Seattle where she lives. So maybe $100k is about average for the year?
@@WishAtElevenEleven that’s pretty accurate for a good performer in an average market
excellent point bc the average person selling real estate doesn’t go in with that much youtube clout and the time it takes to build your yt on top of what time real estate takes, the first year figures would not be that high for sure
I’m located in Dallas texas as a Realtor. My first year I made $20k. But I’m in my third year now and haven’t given up and have made $70k so far this year
Hard work and good luck are not mutually exclusive. A lot of people can bust their ass and never see the same level of success because other factors will never be equal. You've worked hard and made smart business decisions, AND I'm sure you've also benefitted from circumstances outside your control.
That's very true good luck is scoffed at but it usually is the difference between good and great
Yup. A lot of people have a hard time saying that and it’s a little strange. It doesn’t magically mean you didn’t work hard but often there are people who worked even harder that don’t have a fraction of the success. It’s just a part of living on planet earth.
100% agree. I think a lot of people in the world work hard. But some are extremely lucky and the skills that they are naturally drawn to/ are good at just happen to be lucrative. There are amazing teachers out there who work insanely hard but may never break 6 figures. Nothing wrong with admitting that you’re lucky.
Exactly. Plus honestly being white is always the best benefit.. a lot use it to their advantage. Having white privilege OPENS A LOT OF DOORS and gets certain ppl in spaces non white ppl don’t have excess to. Where others may have to work EXTRA HARD, and never be as successful after years of hard work..
@@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 UA-camrs 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 UA-camr 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. Even if your immediate regional demographics aren't in your favor, because UA-cam is a global platform you can find a significant global audience to build a social media brand.
Definitely picked the right year to enter real estate. Hopefully you have continued success in down years as well
Almost as much as a California Family Law attorney who charges $225.00 an hour-and you bring joy to families. Good for you!
Short term trading is the best right now and very much preferable considering current market conditions
I had same challenges when I just started trading. However I got better but now I just trade with Sir Graham David Fullerton. He is amazing and very good at what he does.
I know Graham David, he’s truly a humanitarian, he helped me regain my losses while trading on futures.
I’ve been hearing about Graham and how he smashes the market. How can I connect with him?
Really, I'm pleased seeing my broker talked about on UA-cam, initially I was skeptical about all these, glad I gave him a shot
I'm barely starting in real estate I'm so excited and you are a motivation thank you for this video
I’ve been wanting to become a real estate agent since I was a child and Imma do it cuz it seems like fun.
Well Monica, I said you had a talent, and you would succeed. I was right with my estimate of your income $200,000 I believe. Not because it was a guess, but because I knew your capability. You did the classic approach to be successful and that is to leverage off your existing skills to attract the sales. Excellent work Monica. The world is your oyster. Let's see where you go next. 💰💰
Monica! You may not read this, but all your RE related content I absolutely love.
You've helped me throughout my own real estate licensing here in Vancouver! :D

@Jeffrey Harmon ✪ This is a shocker seeing melisa pamela perez is being mentioned here. I always had mixed feelings about hiring a lnvestment advisor. For the record, I started working with melisa in 2019, and she manages about 70% of my lnvestments, while I manage the other 30%. My philosophy is that I care more about my own money than anyone else, but she made me accept that they have wealth of information on current conditions and future trends
Please how can I reach her easily, I think I should try this woman I've heard so much good news about her can anyone help with the digit line?
@André Correa Thank you so much, I'll write her immediately.

I’m studying now to take my course soon and get licensed by the state and become a agent this was helpful and I will continue to watch more of ur videos giving myself 2 years to get into my first year of homes
I did watch a recent video where you were considering coming to NYC to work for a Real estate agent here. My comment on that video was you consider all angels on the offer. Having watched this video I am even more convinced that you should stay put I. where you are. I do love your idea of "coaching" others one to one. Isn't going to float in NYC. I know I worked in this field for a long (successful) time. Wish you well going in to the future and IF you land up in my hometown I with you the perseverance to work hard and luck as well.

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 UA-cam 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!
My mom decided to go to school to get her real estate license, and I decided to follow her lead and then I remembered Shelby had a twin who was a real estate agent, so now me and my mom are both watching you for tips 😂💕
People will always try to minimize the success of others. There is nothing "Lucky" about your success. You earned it.
I've never seen someone be able to bring in money so easily. I know it's hard work for sure but there are so many hard jobs in the world that pay pennies. I'm happy for you! Don't get me wrong, just blows my mind.
yeah in her first year on trying something new... am I in the wrong industry haha
I absolutely attribute it to her success on UA-cam.
I agree with you and my husbands a realtor. Now don’t get me wrong, it’s a stressful career wanting to please clients all the time, but once you get it off the ground and it takes off, it does seem “easy” to make 20K at time. However, keep in mind, most agents fail, only top producers make the real money.
@@kimberlygonzalez3148 Yes from what she said in the video she became an agent after knowing how many people will contact her to sell them houses off of her youtube channel.

How was it doing real estate in New Jersey ?
Wow in Australia it used to be a 60/40 split. You get the 40%. We worked 7 days a week generally from 7am till 9p.m often well over 80 hour weeks. Today here (in Australia)houses sell themselves. The market here is crazy. Houses have more than doubled in 12 months.
This is really encouraging. I stopped practicing for my exam because I got discouraged and busy but hearing these numbers is insane. If I could do half as well I’d be happy
Caitlin what was discouraging you about the exam?
You need to be a UA-cam star to make these kinds of numbers.

I’m currently in the process of becoming a realtor and this has been so helpful I don’t believe anybody is really lucky, luck really means when opportunity meets preparedness and you have been preparing yourself by working and taking the time and effort to grow and opportunity’s came from it I would love to learn how I could use UA-cam as a platform to grow as a realtor.
I just want a career change. I like the idea of working at a computer, talking to people and the best part is i get to look inside houses lol. I like the idea of giving tours and advice.
Ngl, there’s so much ‘busy work’ involved that doesn’t move the needle at all. I’ve been trying to just focus on the ‘important’ activities that actually do something, and it’s been sort of working for the time being
Passing the Real Estate exam is when you study hard, if you can’t study or you don’t have time for your studies I’d advise you get yourself a help like Mr Mason Gomez.
I’ve always believed that Real Estate exam is not for all but studying, you need God’s grace to pass .
People keep talking about Mason all over UA-cam, he must be a very awesome help.
I studied for months and couldn’t pass, I guess passing is a blessing.
Real Estate exam might seem so tough to pass but studying very hard is a very vital skill to win trust me .

I passed the state test (!!!) but never could pass the national test (tried 3x). It was so discouraging! But I know if I could pass, I would do a great job. This video was motivating!
Don't be discouraged just get it done. It took me a few tries but I finally passed and you will too.
@@tishtash5100 thank you for taking the time to type that out -- I appreciate it. At this point, I would have to take all the classes again before I could take the test. We'll see what happens! Last time, I took online classes and maybe I need to be sitting in an actual classroom.
Try again!! You will get it🙌🏻
just study 8 hours a day for one week you'll pass
@@shttc900 what is the national test?
So impressive Monica!! Amazing that UA-cam has been a great asset for you within the Real Estate world as well 😊
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 UA-cam 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 UA-cam. I know some people move out of state etc but I feel like the industry is more a local based thing and UA-cam 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!!
Im still a college student pursuing my license at 18, is it possible to succeed the first couple of years by working part-time, or must you be very flexible?
You should be extremely proud of yourself!!!! ♥️
Thanks for the inspiration, Real estate is a great supplemental side hustle. Your insights are very helpful. Good Luck.
Luck is when hard work meets opportunity! Thank you for this video, I just started classes and I appreciate the insight. :)
Great video! Thanks for being so transparent and sharing these gems with us.
Thanks for sharing. Compelling message!
This is so inspiring and encouraging...and I just searched hotel videos and now I'm benge watching her. ❤️
Very proud of u girl but I wonder how the market will affect the home buying process now. What are your thoughts on that?
Killing it! Honestly being agent is such a cool job, financial perks aside. Buying a home is one of, if not the most important purchase of people's lives and just being being in a position to guide them,, understand their needs and to hold their hand through the process is very fulfilling. Well done Monica!
Also I would 100000% take a course from you !!!!!!! You rock.
That is incredible, thank you for being transparent!
You go, Monica!! I’m so happy for you. One of your hauls got me into watching UA-cam videos over ten years ago and to see all of your success is really inspiring. I’ve been in the restaurant industry for a while now, have been thinking about getting into real estate. Appreciate the video, and again, super happy for you!!!
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 😊
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.
I was a "Realtor" in Santa Clara County for 18 years....before youtube. In Santa Clara County there was 22,000 people in Real Estate, my competition...
Help Monica!!
I’ve wanted to start a UA-cam for some time! I’m ready…congrats on an excellent first year!
Keep posting!
Do you work with a real estate company ? If so is that a way you would recommend or do you recommend solo
DONT LISTEN TO THE HATERS. You’ve earned every dollar.
Great job on your first year! That is a very successful year for a first year agent or for any agent. This is very inspiring for me (4th year agent in Boston) and best wishes to you always!
I would of love to know this three years ago when I started. Thank you for the tips. I hope to get some content to showcase Ocala, Florida.
I love the transparency here! My old roommate did real estate and I hardly ever saw him because he was always working. It always struck me as such a cool thing to do, and I love that you dove into this and clearly have such passion for it! I just moved to Seattle and will probably be looking to buy in a year or two and I’ll definitely reach out then!
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 :-)
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
She said she did not
@@millennialx9044 I definitely understand. I’m in my first year as an agent. I watched tons of videos and articles about the most important questions to ask your broker before hanging your license. It helped me really know what I needed and deserve in a brokerage. I would’ve chose the compete wrong one had I not done that for sure 😂
In life we make our own luck! Well done, congratulations!
This was really insightful! Thank you for being so open and transparent :) Kudos Monica!!
Monica, hi there, how much taxes you had to pay? The reason i ask is for educational purposes, I want to be a real estate agent in the near future. Thank for your videos.
Anyone watching hoping to be a real estate agent needs to ignore this video. These results are far from typical. She got through with her connections. If you’re not a pretty woman with connections you will be working like a dog and be extremely fortunate to make even 50k a year.
I’m glad she pointed out that her leads came from UA-cam where she was ALREADY successful and able to to easily pivot.
yeh, fast forward to the summer of 2024 and from what I read agents are starving, even in the wealthier areas. One study also showed over 40% of agents this year have not sold ONE house so far. NAR expects to lose at least 25% of their national membership.
That was an impressive first year!! Thanks for sharing tips and encouragement!!!
Thank you for this video . I’m taking my real estate exam next month, and videos like that give you better explanation what you getting yourself into .
Monica I have really enjoyed watching your story evolve over the years. Through all the ups and downs, you have done so well for yourself and all the hard work has really paid off. Such a boss ❤️❤️❤️
This is awesome! You worked really hard and also I would say the luck in your journey was meeting your now boss during the process of purchasing your home and joining a great team and having great mentorship, tutelage. Keep up the great work!
I totally hear you that you worked your bum off and earned your way … cause obviously you have. but I don’t think that eliminates the element of luck. Success is often the intersection of hard work and lucky circumstances. I am sure you can think of a number of ways in which you are in fact lucky. Maybe that’s just me tho.
what’s the point in commenting this? Did it make you feel good to diminish her work?
No of course not. She brought it up. I made a general comment about a perspective I have in life. Working hard is amazing. And it’s not always enough. Apparently that was offensive. Didn’t mean it to be.
@@tabithaaa6176 oh I misinterpreted. that’s a good perspective to have. Some call it luck, others call it chance, but i think it’s about seizing the opportunities you’re given
@@tabithaaa6176 exactly. Something I’ve noticed a lot of the early “beauty guru” type UA-camrs say they were able to gain a larger following because they started their channels early. There was a lot less competition. They had no way of knowing how big UA-cam could be or in some cases that they could make money. That’s an example of luck. It doesn’t magically make any of their work go away but it’s a piece of the puzzle.
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. So it's more like she leveraged her success on youtube and converted it to more success. 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.
Omgz love love love your video, I'm not an agent yet but I'm in the process of picking the school that will best prepare me for this new journey.... I have not started vidz yet but I will.... your video was so good and informative and realistic and that's the content that is needed to be projected... but I'm so determined and I will continue to follow you... I'm in FL and so it'll be cool to watch you in the paint.... Keep it up girl 😉 💪
Hi Monica,
That’s incredible bc I had a neighbor who became a real estate agent and she was not as successful as you so she sold her unit and moved out. She was so arrogant and thought it was going to be so easy, but her biggest fail was that she did not network or go out and aggressively find buyers and home sellers.
Another person that I know is also a real estate agent and he averages about 100k a year. That incredible too.
You and your sister are so smart and great entrepreneurs. This finding customers through youtube is pure genius. Thanks for sharing your great ideas.
Congratulations on all your hard work! Anyone who thinks it was luck, has never really worked all that hard.
Wow without the team split, she would've made around $315k (700k average x 20 houses x 0.9 to account for the brokerage fee)...
What I want to know is how you have all your clients capable of affording the current market. All of my clients have been and are continuesly being priced out. Our median homes price rised 40k in two months, and the rising interest rates demolished already doom first time home buyers.
I use PPC for my lead generation, by the way. My prospecting has become very skilled with it, but it's to no avail. I guess it's just my market.
Rising interest rates will push down house prices.
@@jasonfournier not when supply is short and demand is high. My markets median home price is still increasing. So the facts counter your claim.
@@ForgingMyWins it takes time.
You’re so impressive! Love your channel!!
Thinking about starting as a real estate agent then commercial development!
Congratulations Monica. How are things going for you now!
This is was helpful because a lot of brokers are telling me different things and telling me I cannot make 100,000 my first year. Which is my goal to make but first I want to learn the ins and outs of becoming a great agent first. I feel like giving up this gave me motivation again to continue.
The last minute of this video was so well stated!!! You did work for this and you deserve it ❤️
Amazing!! Congratulations on your success. FYI - Your course link is not working.
