When I was in my twenties, my dad was still practicing real estate and getting ready to retire. He suggested that I take over the business. I thought I was too young to sell homes and that no one would take me seriously, so I didn’t do it.
Fast forward a few years and here I am. A full commission job might seem scary, but when you’re in your twenties, that’s the perfect time to do it. That’s just one reason I believe that the real estate industry is perfect for millennials. Here are a few others:
1. Technological advancements. Millennials are used to technology and can navigate the new advancements of the real estate industry with ease.
2. Communication. The number one complaint in real estate is that an agent did not communicate well enough. Millennials are communicating all over the place with every source possible: cell phones, Facebook, Instagram - you name it.
“
Work-life balance is a thing of the
past - look for a work-life blend.
”
3. Work-life blend. Work-life balance is a thing of the past. We carry our cell phones around all the time. Millennials want their career to be part of who they are. It’s no longer just about having a job. They want to be proud of something. You can still communicate about real estate all day long. You will work some evenings and weekends, but real estate allows you to have a work-life blend so you can still spend time with friends and family during the week.
5. Sense of community. Millennials want to be involved in their community and what’s going on around them. Doing so is a huge part of the real estate industry.
6. Helping others. Real estate is all about helping others find their next home.
If you’re a millennial and thinking about real estate, this is a perfect time to try it out. If you have this millennial mindset, you can have a successful career in real estate as well! Your age doesn’t matter. It’s all about your frame of mind.
