Hi Darius,

Thanks for posting your interest in PropertyGuru.

With regards to your question, there is really no way you can know whether you can make it or not. Of course there are many factors invloved in the success in this business. To even give a rough gauge of whether will you be suitable for this industry, I will definitely need to have a chat with you personally.

But as what many gurus have already mentioned, your desire to succeed is very important as your mind can really overcome a lot of things. This industry is not a bed of roses but I will love to share with you the pros and cons of the industry.

Mentorship is very important in this industry and I can also share with you how i can mentor you in this business. Maybe we can meet up for a non obligatory discussion and you also need to feel comfortable with your future manager right?

Look forward to hear from you soon.

Best Regards,

Hi Darius,

Whether you can make it in property line, or in any other things you do, is all depends on you yourself.

Beside your mentor, manager that coach and guide you, if you are positive, knows what you wants and is hungry for success, with right attitude and commitment, then the chances of being successful will be there.

There are more stories to share. Let me know if you are free, we can also meet up and I can also show you around my company.

Please feel free to drop me an email or call me directly for a non-obligation discussion, if you still have further questions.

Thank you & Best Regards

Hello Darius,

Your question,

"How do you know if u can make it in property?"

Is a simple question, and yet, it lies at the fundamental heart of all real estate agents at one point or another in their careers as real estate salespersons.

Let us looks at is at 3 basic components:
A) "How"
B) "You"
C) "Make it"

The "How" comprises essentially 2 components, the mentor/leader, and the work plan/activities. In searching for the mentor/leader, sometimes the most flashy and loudly trumpeted person might not be the best fit for you. Example, have you watched the first IP Man? Sometimes the best martial arts teachers are not the ones in the best frontage martial arts schools, but you will only find him/her if you search high and hard.

The activities in real estate on the other hand are very much varied. Most of the time, activities are very personal in nature, hence it becomes for the mentor to monitor all the activities of their associates. Our team has evolved that to work at the team level, that way, skills sets are more easily taught, and skills deficiencies more easily pointed out in a classroom environment.

"You" - This is the wild card. As a performance coach in the past, the biggest enigma when working with people is in trying to predict how each of them behaves under each and every trying circumstance.

Rock Balboa said, "...It is not how hard you can punch, but how hard you can keep getting hit, and keep moving forward...", this is the root of what makes us humans mortals, and yet at moments, elevates us into the ranks of what it means to be heroic.

In this aspect, it is with all humility that I say that it is impossible to KNOW, with any degree of certainty that you WILL succeed in this industry, however the presence or lack of a stellar track record. The only person who will know the answer to this would be you yourself. Every moment that you are challenged with giving up, and you choose to fight on, is a battle won, this battle you will fight again and again easily for your first year in the business, and therein determines your success here.

As your leaders and mentors, we watch, we guide, we encourage, we support, but most of all, we believe in you even when you think the skies are at their darkest.

This industry is a richly rewarding one, both monetarily, and in your personal evolution, you are most welcome to join us, and make this adventure together.

I failed terribly in my first attempt...

Then I joined the right agency and learnt from the best by observing and teaching. You know you can succeed when you:
1) Have good products to sell (the right agency)
2) Know the secrets to effective Marketing & Sales (the right mentors)
3) Have the right mindset and environment (the right team)

Check out HuttonsCareer.com (great for newbies). SMS/call for a chat. Make the right choice!
