I feel defeated
Hi, I’m 23 F. I became a real estate agent assistant around 2 years ago, and I officially became licensed and apart of a brokerage a year ago. I’m on a team where I’m more of an assistant and I get paid weekly, but I can also do my own thing and handle my own clients. I’m apart of a great team and an amazing brokerage, I’ve just haven’t been very successful doing this on my own as an agent. I don’t get paid much weekly as an assistant, but enough to be able to pay bills and groceries. Sometimes I will get a percentage of a commission I worked a lot on, which is a nice bonus. I just haven’t been successful in having my own clients, I’ve closed on one deal last year and it was split. I live very frugally, and our rent is as cheap as we could find in our area. Basically, I haven’t really been progressing or growing. I feel like my partner is disappointed in me and I feel disappointed in myself. The amount of money I’m making isn’t enough. We’ve been talking about moving because we don’t live in the greatest area and the rent around us is so expensive and nothing is as cheap as where we live now. He just got hired on to a new job that pays well, but with our combined income we are making under 60k a year, if that. I feel like I’m not doing enough for myself, but I am really trying and it feels SO defeating. Plus it doesn’t help that anytime we talk about it want to shut down. I just feel like is this the right path for me? Should I just wait a little longer trying this career? I just don’t know if this is the right path for me, but I worked hard to get to this point. I just feel defeated. I’m looking into jobs that are more stable, I was thinking about applying to be a leasing consultant. Any advice is very appreciated.
