 It's Real Trauma, Carter, and I'm back with another video. Today is the first episode of Vet Talk, baby. So Vet Talk, I'm gonna be answering you guys' questions. So if you have any questions about anything, comment below and let me know. First episode, so we're gonna get it started. The first question is from Mondo, the great. He was shot up to him. He's been a supporter. He's been rockin' with the double off him for a long time now. So a huge shout out to you. The question is, he wants to know the good, the ups and downs of being a real estate agent. So me, you guys who are a part of double off him, you know I want to be very honest and this is solely my opinion. So if you are a real estate agent or if you're not a real estate agent, you feel different when that's on you. Make your own video. You make your Vet Talk. So let's get right to it. The ups about being a real estate agent is it's really infinite money. I mean, if you're willing to put it into work, you can make as much money as you want to make. You just have to find a lead. You have to get the lead. You have to get the clients that's looking to buy or sell a house. And there's no cap on how much money you can make. So that's the great thing. But with that being said, just understand that you're not going to get 100% of the money if you're just a regular real estate agent. You have to pay fees and stuff. So you have to pay your fee to be a real estate agent through Embraer and all that stuff. If you're in Illinois, you also have to pay fees to the office. And then with the commission split, your manager broker, whoever you're under, they're going to get a cut of the money too. So you guys want to make sure you keep that in mind. I know a lot of times people may think that you make all this boo-koo money. And I mean, you can make boo-koo money. Some people do make boo-koo money. There's not very, honestly, there's not very many multi-million dollar real estate agents. A lot of times they got it from investing versus being a real estate agent. So don't always believe what you be saying on TV and on social media. Because a lot of times those don't be very true. Or it's all about perception. It's all about what you perceive. So those are two things also dealing with people. This is a customer-based business. Customer service. You have to have good customer service and you're going to want to good people. You're going to want to bad people. So it's all about how you play it, but you always want to make sure you be professional at all times. Because some people want to be in the wrong way or say or do things that you dislike. But one of my biggest things that I would tell you guys is business. Don't use emotional business. Because it will get you every time. Don't do it. Don't do it. I had to learn a hard way. During this process, you're going to go, you're going to run into people that's not the greatest, that you really don't agree with. And my best advice for you to do is just probably tell them that they should probably find someone else to work with. Because everybody's personalities don't click together. So you want to be well-rounded. You want to kind of have a people's person personality. But sometimes you're going to run to those people that you just never want to be happy. So no matter what you do, I mean, it's really worth the money. So you always got to make sure you keep that in mind. What else? Honestly, it's great. I love to help the people. When they get those kids at the end of the day, it's like a great feeling. So that's one of the reasons why I really enjoy it. And then also a good thing is you, you meet a lot of different people. You meet a lot of different people. And sometimes you guys make becoming a friend. You might, you know, meet someone that's really, that really likes you, that really takes a liking to you. And then you guys make do bigger things. You may do some deals together. So that's always a good thing. It's just a lot of different stuff with being a real estate agent. You have to deal with a lot of stuff. It's just not you and the client though also. Don't forget about that. You have you, you have your client. You have the other agent. You have their client. You have the lawyer. You have the inspector. You have the attorney. Yeah. I mean, you just have so many other variables would be good being a real estate agent. You guys want to make sure that you again, don't use the emotional business. I had to learn it the hard way. And then you're also going to run into those times where you may feel that you're going to be emotional because you know someone, it may be a friend's family, friend of the family or something like that that you know that's going to buy a house or sell a house and they go to somebody else. So remember to cut the emotions off. You're going to run into this. It's part of the process. You just want to think about it. If you do good business, you want to think about it as it was their loss, not yours. You're not going to make all the money. You're not going to overnight just make millions of dollars. That's not how it works. A lot of times people may think you make all this money being a real estate agent, but when you become one, you understand what I'm saying. A lot of people may think, Oh, he got the vet now. Well, he must be selling a lot of house and all that. It's really, I got the vet from investing. Investing got me the vet. Investing in real estate got me the vet versus you being a real estate agent. It just helps along the way. And so you guys want to make sure you keep that in mind. What else can I say? I just love that you're free. Everything is on you now. If you're not really go out there and get this money or find these clients, then this is not for you. So you guys want to make sure you think about that too. Just because you see someone else doing it, they're successful. It doesn't mean you're going to do the same thing. That's just not how our life works. For instance, the YouTube channel, I thought that I was going to do this and that and that just works. We're going to slow process, but we're going to get there. We're almost at the thousand mark for the subscriber. So who shout out to everybody who subscribed to the channel that you aren't subscribed make sure you smash that subscribe button. That's pretty much it about being a real estate agent. You're going to also, oh, more stuff. You're also going to meet agents that you don't get along very well because they do business differently than you do business. But you want to make sure you don't use your emotion because if they get you, I'm trying to tell you how to learn this. I had to learn this. So I'm trying to give you guys this information of what I've learned from the four years I've been a real estate agent. So you guys, I'm just going to give you everything I got. I want to be a real estate agent. It's kind of fun. When you meet the right people and you start getting the vibe, you want to have the right team. It's really about building the right team. If you got a good lender, you have a good attorney, you have a good inspector, you can kind of, you know, y'all can kind of build off each other. But also you don't want to run into people that are just going to waste your time. Again, like I said before, you're going to run into a lot of people that want you to do all this stuff and they don't really want to pay. And it's just a lot of variables with being a real estate agent. You guys want to make sure you think about that before you just step in the field. What I say, quit your job and do it. It depends on you. It depends on the person. It depends on how much you're going to work it. Are you going to really go out and get these leads? Are you going to go knock on? We've done it all. Knock on doors, go meet people, go to network and event. Everything we have done, anything that you can think of, send postcards, pretty much all of that stuff. Over a while, if you continue to do what people want to start to annoy you, they're going to refer people to you. And you just want to make sure you do good business because if you do bad business, the bad travel faster and the good as we all know. You guys want to make sure you keep that in mind. Also, this is just the first episode of Bit Talk. I'm going to chop it up with the double R family a little bit. I'm going to be dropping these videos. I'm going to try to start uploading more because we about to hit that 1,000 subscribers. I just need y'all to tell a friend and tell a friend and join the double R family. When I drop these videos, make sure you view on and watch. Even if you don't want to listen to me, just put it on play, turn the music down. I'm going to turn the volume down. They do like that.
