Real estate is great! I just finished up my first year as a real estate agent here in Dallas, I still have a full time job, and serve fully in my church.I managed to close 885k in real estate transactions as a solo agent. Self motivation, hustle, having a plan, and a extra income source are key in starting out in the business!

I remember in 2007 when I was working in real estate seeing people buy homes new from builders with the intention of selling before close of escrow to a new buyer for profit. The crash was so brutal and fast that I remember seeing a lot of these units foreclosed on with the builder plastic still on the carpet.

With being a Realtor you NEED to be a good marketer and find a great mentor. - fellow agent

Get good at marketing and nurture those relationships

The whole time he was explaining why he wanted to become a real estate agent I was just like… you can just say you want to make a lot of money. It’s okay. A lot more than 30k a year eventually xD

In my experience the material you get tested on to get your license is almost irrelevant to what you actually need to know in practice, so my advice would be to never stop learning

Find a great mentor, get a coach, learn basic marketing. You do not need to own real estate to become a successful agent. Get comfortable with being told “no.” Being shot down, and keep moving forwards. We all got into this business for different reasons, just know it’s very hard, and it’s not a get rich quick scheme. Just don’t quit, make a solid outline and goal. Find a mentor that keeps you honest and accountable for your goals. Every transaction is different, and it’s always changing. Good luck!

Thank you for the advice! I already own a business but I’m super interested in extending more. I would say the best biblical advice is James; be quick to listen, slow to speak, and do not be quick to anger.

The fact that Luka hustled for a year on his own and pulled in $40K tell me that he can be a great real estate agent. He has the hustle and he has the care.

I Pray Everyone who Reads becomes Extremely successful and Encounter a kind of blessing that will overcome all your fears, spend Less and invest More!!

Becoming a real estate agent myself! I’m loving everything about Real Estate 🏡.

I’m currently in RealEstate school and it’s a lot. Glad I’m making the right steps according to Ramsey’s advice…

I thought he said he was 20, my jaw dropped

Tough to start on your own. Difficult to do part time if you have a wage based clock punching day job. Ask yourself why anyone would go to you to buy or sell? Reputation points can take a decade to build even when doing it all properly.

Finding a great mentor from day one and make sure that the company you join, helps with training. It's extremely important to have someone guiding you throughout the whole process. Such an amazing industry to be in.

Perfect timing!

Great step to taking a huge path in life!

When everyone's a real estate agent, no one is. This job market is oversaturated.

Best advice is to seek out who you admire in the industry, look at what they do and what makes them successful and give them a call! Do not look at any real estate company for guidance to create success, the biggest separating factor is you as an individual, your OWN personal brand and USP.

This video came just in time. I need all the advice I can get. I’m currently doing online classes.

Passing the Real estate test is when you study hard, if you can’t study or you don't have time for your studies l'd advise you get yourself a help like Mr Dylan

Real Estate ain't easy and you need startup cost unless a brokerage can sponsor you.

Amen! I hope he Pursued it! I’ve been a Realtor since 2009 with Keller Williams Premier Realty in Katy, Texas! It has been a life changer for me and my family. Keller Williams also offers FREE online Real Estate licensing courses! Plz let me know, if you have any questions. Thnx, to the Ramsey Team, for always sharing!!!

Good Job!

Ask yourself, "Would I buy real estate/commercial property from me....?" Take real personal inventory of yourself. Don't expect life to hand you, but don't settle for less. It's on you.

Best of luck, you will win!!!

Thank you, Dave!

Great advice!

Taking my online real estate license courses and will be licensed by November. Will continue studying for the broker license

Marketing and building relationships are 🔑

So glad I’m already doing the advice he gave. 😅

I’m a real estate agent in NYC. Learn to budget your money!

Or move to the UK where no qualifications are required (not right in my opinion) and follow what is a magnificent career. I've loved my 35yrs and although semi retired I'm still loving it part-time. Good luck 👍

What's up Ramsey!

Great advice. Thank you - future Real Estate Agent

I came right on time for the vid cause I just sigh up for school

Thank you for your info

I am about to write a book about how I had change my life and other people life as a real estate agent and saw this. In 2002 I was 24 year old just got married making $34k a year with a computer engineer degree but work as an accounting doing payroll for a logistic company while doing real estate part time. I start in real estate with a mind set of buying bank foreclose or distress properties for myself and others

Seeking my license as well. Currently taking an online course. Great advice!

There is power in San Antonio??

This is the question I’ve been looking for

I’m planning to become an real estate agent from UK .

I’m an accountant at a property management company, I’m enrolling in real estate school so I know the other side and make extra income to saving.

Real estate is great!

This Is a good man! He will get after it.

It’s a great career.

Hard work will always pay off.

Life is about creating and living experiences that are worth sharing. - Steve Jobs

I'm starting out as well. About to start the 63 hours

My guy said he was working in social services for seven years before he got laid off in 2020. Where are that government’s priorities

What school In Texas do u guys recommend to go through to get a real estate license?

Solution = Watch Graham Stephan

When he asked what does she make and what do you make, I except him to say she makes 35k.... I wasn't that far off 🤣😂

Please does anyone know the subject requirements to study real estate in the university I’m in Grade 12 and looking for career options I’m considering real estate but don’t know the subject requirements and I’ve searched but it’s not really helping .So if anyone in the comments could please tell me I’d appreciate it ?

I want to get into real estate. I want to do it to earn money I’d be lying if I said otherwise.Currently I sell appliances for a living and repair. Well at the moment it’s repair only since I don’t have a place to fix appliances. I’m just tired of getting no where with it. Too many downs not enough ups. I don’t enjoy it much. I’m good at fixing but it’s not my thing. So real estate would be a change just have lots of questions. I really want to make more than I am to be able to buy my first home, to be able to give my kids a better future, to be able to even give a wedding to my girl friend. I just want to be able to afford these things and you cannot with no money. I also like working for my self been working like that since 19. I just like to work on my own terms. It’s always been like that. I would like to try this I am a bit familiar with sales and with hard work. I just think it’s time for me to move on and try something maybe will turn into a passion. I do like talking to people making connections. It be nice to make people happy rather than what I do now where my work is not appreciated and it’s exhausting to deal with many people who take you for granted. But enough said real estate could be my way out of misery could be my way out of this hole I’m in.

"Why do you wanna become a real estate agent?" Me: Money 💰 🤑

Skip trace a list of expired listings and SMS blast as many as you can 2-4 times and follow up 🧠🧠🧠 I am a soon to be real estate agent

I hope he's doing well. 3 years later. Sounds like a great young man.

I’m currently at a crossroads. Thanks for all the information Dave and everyone who commented!

He should become a Mortgage Loan Originator. You can make absolute bank right now.

I am moving to San Antonio, Texas from Portland Oregon !

How did I not see this interview a year ago! Is there any update on this guy? I’ve been licensed for a year and would love to see if he ever pursued it!

I don’t believe that people are on the phone less now than they were five years ago😅

Do we know how Luca is doing now

Hi Dave if you read this thank you my question is what's your thoughts on paying down mortgage or putting money into a Roth or save money and buy another property when the price goes down I'm 50 years old I owe 165 thousand on House I'm taking home 5000 gran a month after taxes and my house payment of s 1156 month I'm thinking of giving 1000 more a month what's your answer

He can sign up with a real estate brokerage and work with a mentor for his first few transactions (share a small portion of his commission with the mentor) and he will be good after that. He's young and will catch on quickly. Good Luck!

I'm in same boat as Luka. No exp. I've read a few books. I literally just answered my own question. I asked myself weeks ago, what goal could i pursue that is so big, you must change to achieve it? Real Estate. Well, many other areas aswell. BUT. with the math game of real estate, i think the profits could be endless (with long term goal). I'm not instant grad. I'm a planner. As Ramsey said. Find a broker, or a team, and offer grunt services. learn the trade, the business. ask questions. be diligent. I think alot of ppl in this world want to trophy without putting in the work. We do not quit our day job, as many other great successful ppl have said, let the $ from the job, grow your business aswell. an extra 300-600 depending on what you make.. isn't a bad amount to put into things. Play smarter.

I am taking my test tomorrow!!!!!!

There are more Real Estate Agents than houses for sales on these days . Everyone wants to become a Realtor most of them have to spend thousands of dollars in gas showing houses and many hours of your time answering phones calls and emails from potential buyers to sell a house ! Here in Dallas Texas if you want to have more clients you have to speak Spanish because there are more hispanic people buying more houses

Can we get a update of where he’s at right now !! That be a nice motivating video

Great points, I just posted on my channel things new agents or prospective agents need to consider. Thanks

I think maybe I will ask Brown and Brown and Brown. Third Brown is homage to the F-150...

Question.... I'm 35 y/o I have an IRA with $25k and a Roth IRA i just started with only $500. I'm getting ready to ramp up my retirement savings. Which account do I start to stockpile....or both? and if both is the right answer how do I split my stockpile????

If you have a proficiency in sales and GENERATING leads. Don’t fear all the “extras hurdles” they’re discussing. If you’re computer proficient and in person proficient you got any sale

AND UHMMMM

going to college for finance with the ultimate goal of being a full time real estate agent! good plan? any opinions?

Take the test to be a broker as well…💪🏿🛍️

My name is Patricia I'm 21 years old, I live with my boyfriend at a house that was gifted to him when his papaw passed away, we're wanting to move away from his parents and get that separation.

After that I want to start getting my agent license if you have any advice, please let me know.

Wow everyone and their mama wants to be a real estate agent… interesting 🤔

I’m curious did he hang up on him or did he take him off speaker

Lets go ✨🎆🎇

Being a real estate agent usually doesn't pay all that much money, although it can be fine.

Please edit your subtitles.

Did the Dave Ramsey Show get hacked. I am seeing messages from his old screen name.

Go Luka🏆🏆🏆🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

The economic crisis is just a time that differentiates the wise from the other, the wise will invest right now either in stock or cryptocurrency just to hold some shares of something.

This isn’t good advice in my opinion. Dave doesn’t know your drive or determination. Get a real mentor to show you the way.

Step one do the work on yourself to lose the idea that sales people are slime balls or you will fail.

Can you please share a script.

What's better: Real Estate Sales or Insurance Sales?

Hope Luka got into the buisness. I run a small realty estate group here in San Antonio. Reach out to me if you live in San Antonio and want to learn the buisness, I’m willing to help if you’re willing to grind

Everything now says is or can be done over the phone text from my experience … fist meet up to closing

I wanna be a Real Estate Tycoon

I'll work for free starting out in exchange for a demo truck or EV Mustang... just kidding

He’s better off flipping houses or doing rentals, re agents not a great business for most
