Mistakes I Made My Second Year As A Real Estate Agent! 

we love a queen that apologises without being caught by the public

Aw Monica 🥺 I can tell you’re truly sorry - you’re getting choked up in your multiple apology to this family. ❤️ I hope they’ve truly forgiven you.

I think not leaving a not so good situation is normal in the adulting process. It happens to so many people, myself included, and I’m still learning that when its time to leave its okay to do so. I’m getting better at it, too. And its awesome that you have insight and self reflection on your experience working with a team.

I highly respect that you said the price of your coaching calls. Most people would withhold that info to make it sound more appealing to people who are never gonna pay that anyway.

Thank you for being so real. You genuinely LOVE helping people and want what's best for them. I'm glad you are willing to put yourself out there and learn from your mistakes. It's honestly so awesome seeing that from a popular RU-vidr because most of the time people just show their highlights and this is truly inspiring! Thank you for bringing us along on your journey!

Thank you for always being so transparent and genuine.

Thanks for being so transparent. I really appreciate it. Especially the first one. It’s a lesson learned and I also took from it too. You go girl! 💛

You’re my favorite RU-vidr, I’ve watched you for years, and you’ve come so far. As a 23-year-old, you truly inspire me, I hope you keep making videos for along time to come ❤

You are such a kind person! Great information.

I've never commented on a video of yours, but this one I felt I had too because I've never related to a person more. I'm an agent who mainly was a marketing admin for a real estate team. I dealt with a TERRIBLE split for way longer than I should've and was very unhappy. I also was constantly made to feel like I was the person in charge of making other agents a "social media star". Now that I'm on my own and make content for myself it all makes sense. You are so right that you can never make a youtube channel for someone else, it really does defeat the purpose of authenticity and why people follow channels in the first place. Props to you for learning all of this so quickly! You're killing it as always!! 🙌💁‍♀

Thank you for sharing this. Am currently studying real estate in Toronto!!😀

Thank you for sharing your experiences, Monica! I wanted to point out that ever since you’ve become a real estate agent, your communication and people skills have improved and it really shows in your videos! Awesome to see your professional and personal development :) you are so well spoken and it’s really inspiring!

Your content is worth the wait. Well done as usual

❤❤❤ Great video. So glad you realized your value and got off the team. I always thought you were bringing so much value to them. At the time I didn’t know your split was and wondering about it. They were foolish not realize your value add and make it right for you. Lesson learned. You are doing a great job! Never doubt yourself, you are one of the good ones! Be careful not to spread yourself too thin, burnout is real. Love your content! Thanks for sharing:)

I found real estate really tough to do part time. Especially first starting out. I don’t regret it because I still learned a lot and who knows if I’d go back to it in the future 🙏 thanks for all your content 💕

Amazing video Monica! You did a wonderful job going through all of the points. I really hope this video gets pushed out to a lot of people. It is so good everybody needs to watch it! ♥♥ I wish you so much RU-vid success. Excited for your next video! 🤩

Always enjoy watching a new Monica video! You have a great personality that people want to tune into.

Thanks for your insights and honesty! You rock!

Love that you put your money where your month is and also donated! Thanks for bringing that family up, really that is just crazy and tragic 😔

Great video. You're so genuine in how you come across in your videos. Your real estate clients are so lucky to be able to work with you.

Your hair looks amazing! I’m loving the darker roots for you

GOOD STORIES! 😳🍿 I was JUST thinking “I bet Monica’s getting a wam bam video together” lol. I LOVE hearing people’s learned lessons. I’m excited for this next one 👍

Are you growing your hair out to your natural color? Your roots look like they’re really coming out. And I just have to say, IT LOOKS SO GOOD!!!! Your natural brown looks so NATURAL. Like it’s exactly how you’re supposed to look. Dark vixen! I hope you’ll give it a try and see how you like it. Great video by the way. I think teams are such thieving when it’s an established agent. Everyone’s sticking their hand in your money pie, and very few teams and brokerages actually DO anything for you. Glad you went out on your own! :)

Thanks for sharing these valuable life lessons Monica ❤

This was SO entertaining! Made me think about my first few years in real estate, lol

Hi Monica! Really looking forward to the sunday video!

Very brave to be so honest 👍😍congratulation. You are a real mature (even such a young person) 😊

Lol I think I’ve just binged all your recent videos today. Great content thank you! 🎉🎉

✨That was so fun to watch and get to know- I watch pretty much all the reality real estate shows - so getting this real inside scoop of the biz is great! Thank you 💞✨👽

I would love to hear more about tips for new agents in 2023. Sales tactics, how to sell yourself... I would love to hear your perspective

Great video and I did donate to the GoFundMe. Looks like they are closing in on their goal. I am very interested in the new video on Sunday. Also, I know you have mentioned the possibility of you and Jason (and the dogs of course) moving to Palm Springs. If you do move and get your real estate licenses here in California I would definitely want to work with you in finding a condo or house hopefully next year.

Always love a new Monica video!

No excuses for Jason. You've shown him what not to do :)

You have a good heart. Owning up to your mistakes. Genuinely feeling sorry.

You are back!!!

Monica it's been long people waiting for more inspiration -real estate 🏡

Congratulations Monica, I’ve been an agent since 2002, many of the agents that I knew that got their license in 2002 are no longer practicing. Remember Real Estate is a people business, & you are definitely a people person. Making mistakes and owning up to them is big. Learn as much as you can, & Keep on going. :-)

You are so impressive Monica!

Nice! Above and beyond! 🎖🏆🏅

More real estate content pls they are so goood

Three videos in one week?!?! How amazizng! thank you Monica!!!

How often do you get clients who want to sell their house more than what they think it's worth? Do you tell them straight out that they aren't being realistic?

I was a RE Broker in Cali for 18 years.

You learn and share what you learn this educational

I remember at brokerages by me it was basically 50/50 split between listing agent and buyers agent. Then the brokerage took 30% of that split. Then your mentor took 50%. So normally you got 18% of the commission for the first year. Also, you paid all marketing costs (mailers) but the brokerage would put weekly listings in the paper.

not sure if you notice but after mistake 2 you jumped into mistake 4 without a mistake 3. I just assume it was a typo on your end

THE WAY YOU DELIVERED THAT STORY 9:12 😂

as you get older you can think of all the previous experience you have and really think of the big picture before acting . we all make mistakes its cool. i hope you have your own real estate office in the future as well

I missed your videos!!

Lol it was on the news. I can't believe they were mad, it brings more views to the problems in that area.

Ouch!

That was so interesting hearing about the condo that wouldn't sell because when you first started marketing that place I was genuinely interested, I honestly thought it was a gem and a good investment.

Best YT apology.

No to a team, I agree!

We’re you compensated for rehabbing the unsellable condo?

You talented

😂 that opening line

Great video

Live and learn

So after the split with the team ,you have to work on ur own or....

Would you make more money as a full time RU-vidr or what you’re doing now?

Pretty wild splits. Its crazy because we just don’t know better as new agents. I wanted to start with a team to kickstart into the biz but decided to ride solo but with a supportive brokerage and I am so happy I did. I am on my own clock and independent, currently soending a month in Central America and still working 🤙🏼

Left my team on a 50/50 split. We were 40% on "team leads". Closed my first deal at 860k. I knew I was in the wrong situation. Solo agent life for the win!!!

I hate that insurance can just claim something is an “act of God” and not cover the damage. These are multi-billion dollar companies that we homeowners pay out the *** for and when in need they try to weasel out of everything. I was recently in a hit and run accident (the person was actually caught, luckily) and my car insurance has quickly paid all costs associated but I honestly was so anxious they wouldn’t pay anything despite me being a perfect customer up til. Just gross how so many companies will take your money, then abandon you when you needed them. I feel for this family so much.

By the way, have you ever heard of Dealbot AI for doing real estate deals?

I missed your videooos

The sky is the limit for you.

Insurance denies coverage wrongfully all the time! Anything large loss. It’s so upsetting and unregulated. They influence who the judges are in civil courts too and drag out suits in insanely sick ways. (Hope the family gets some help in the end!)

Maybe you made that mistake so that YOU could help their family. Divine encounter

❤❤❤❤❤❤

You for sure deserved a better split if you were the one generating your own leads!

😍😍😍

I went to that school in preschool. So at one point it was an elementary school.

You are very😅 smart.

I don't think age has anything to do with the realtor. I let one go because he was putting too much stress on me. I needed someone more understanding. My hairdresser recommended someone, and I loved her. It was really hard firing this guy because he didn't understand what he did wrong.

❤❤❤

I will say it’s bit misleading to say there’s no resources online talking about splits…I’ve watched plenty of videos from fellow realtors on YT being extremely transparent about that. And I feel the condo situation could’ve been discussed without putting the footage of the unkept home on blast.

1st!

UPDATE! They reached a $5,000,000 settlement.

Do you have South Africa vlogs?

being a real estate agent right now tuff. very tuff. high interest rates. along with high prices for houses. I'm going to learn nursing. I think god would put me in the highest level of heaven if I pursued taking care o patients. real estate you are always chasing big big money. I dont get satisfaction out of that.

Do your home work

If you aren't making mistakes you aren't doing anything!!!!!!!!

I emailed her last week and she never got back to me , I thought agents are supposed to get back within 24 hours ideally

I can see you are scared of bad comments in this video, you apologize too much about everything you say 😂

One day you will be a ceo of a great company.

FYI you have 2 mistake #4

acc

Get over it move on the past is the past!!!!!!!

Investing requires good experience and knowledge to carry out a good and successful trade, I have lost a lot trying to trade all by myself May I ask which investments are good?

Monica's ring finger is SIGNIFCANTLY shorter than her index finger. While it is normal for females to have a shorter ring finger relative to index finger (i.e. low 2D:4D ratio (2D = index; 4D = ring), Monica's is quite dramatic and indicates a low testosterone level :D

Do you ever feel like you’re all alone and no one cares about you? I want you to know something: you’re not alone. God cares about you. God loves you, and you don’t have to ever be lonely again. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life". (john 3:16) For Jesus says "we are worth more than sparrows" (Luke 12:7). Now, in order to remove this pain and emptiness we need to follow Jesus... and he’s just a prayer away. You can just pray a prayer like this: 'Father God, I want you to come into my life. Forgive me of my sins. I want to start this relationship with you now. Amen'.. If you’ll pray a prayer like that, God will hear it.

That last sotry reminded me of one thing. My grandma has a duplex and she was showing the one downstairs to someone. I was about 10 or 11 at the time. I don1t remember what I was having, juice or hot chocolat or something. I remember I choked and went to the window to spit out. Almost got the lady that was viewing the unit. I feel bad to this day LOL
