 Welcome to my new blog series, “Making It in Real Estate.” This series is dedicated to documenting my raw and unfiltered journey as a REALTOR® navigating this unpredictable industry.
To start, let me share a little about where I’m coming from. I became a licensed REALTOR® in March 2023 and joined Keller Williams to begin my real estate career. Like many new agents, I came in with big dreams and high hopes of helping clients buy, sell, and invest in real estate. However, I quickly realized that the journey isn’t as straightforward as it seems. During my first year, I struggled—a lot. • I joined a team, hoping to get the mentorship and hands-on coaching I felt I needed. • I ended up leaving the team because it wasn’t the right fit for me. • Despite my determination, I ended my first year without a single sale. To be honest, I felt stuck. I knew I had the passion and the drive, but I realized I was missing some key tools—mentorship, structure, and a day-to-day action plan to build my business. As I approach my second year in real estate, I’ve decided to take a new approach. I want to document my journey—the highs, the lows, and the in-between moments—so that others who may be in the same boat can see they’re not alone. Today, I had a breakthrough moment. One of the top-producing agents in my company shared a free resource: a 5-day lead generation workbook. At first, I wasn’t sure how much it would help, but after just ONE day of implementing the steps outlined in the workbook, I successfully found a lead. This lead wasn’t from my sphere of influence, family, or friends. It was a purely organic lead, and I’m now helping them search for a commercial space. While there’s no guarantee this lead will result in a closed deal, this was a huge win for me. For the first time, I felt like I was on the right path. What I’ve Learned So Far: • Structure is Key: Having a plan for what to do each day makes all the difference. • Coaching and Mentorship Matter: I’ve learned that I can’t do this alone. Seeking out resources and guidance is essential for growth. • Celebrate Every Win: Whether it’s landing a new lead or taking a step outside your comfort zone, every win is worth celebrating. I’m entering my second year in real estate with a renewed sense of purpose. My goal is simple: to produce results. This year, I’m committed to learning, growing, and putting in the work to turn my real estate dreams into reality. If you’ve ever felt stuck or unsure in your journey, I hope you’ll follow along as I share the reality of making it in real estate. My goal is to inspire, educate, and remind you that it’s okay to struggle—as long as you don’t give up. Let’s make 2025 the year of growth and success—together. Stay tuned for updates on my journey, tips I’m learning, and insights into what it takes to truly thrive in real estate. If you’re a fellow agent, client, or just someone curious about this industry, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s connect and support each other in this wild world of real estate. - Kierra Stevens | REALTOR® 📧: [email protected] 🌐: kierrastevens.kw.com 📲: (773) 917-6211
