A 19-year-old real estate agent listened to a "nosy" neighbor at an open house and turned it into a $1.1 million commercial listing her brokerage said she couldn't handle. She closed it in two weeks, then helped him do a 1031 exchange to buy a luxury home in Scottsdale, earning $72,000 total.
Chapters
One person showed up in the open house and it was the neighbor, which in real estate, we call those the nosy neighbors. I just built a relationship with him and I listened to him and he talked about the chemtrails in the sky, and he talked about his traumatic baby mama situation, and I just listened to him and saw him. He ended up listing a $1.1 million commercial property with me within a week or two. My brokerage told me, you can't do the listing. We can't do commercial. You don't know what you're doing. Still did. The Hannah way says, no, I got this, I'm going to do it. They also told me that it wasn't worth a penny over $400,000. 1.1 million. I knew I was only gonna get a listing if I listed it for 1.1 million. I saw the value. I listed the property. I think I had it under contract in two weeks for full price. Closed the property. He ended up doing a 1031 exchange, which is where you sell a property and you defer your capital gains tax. You can buy another investment property. I helped him find a luxury home up in Troon, which is a really nice area in Scottsdale. That was another million dollar sale. And I helped him get that set up as a furnished Airbnb rental. I made $72,000 from those two sales. By the time both of those were closed, I think I was just turning 19.
