Transcripts
imagine making over two million dollars
just by selling one house well that is
what this guy did and in this video I'm
gonna be asking New York's top realtors
is it easy to get rich selling real
estate is it as lucrative as it seems
and what's it like dealing with the
world's wealthiest people make sure you
watch to the end for a private tour of
some of New York's most expensive real
estate listings on the market start here
right this block 64th Park left 20
million dollar house on the corner
Bernie madoff's Penthouse who's up there
oh in that building yeah before we tour
these New York Mega homes let's go and
hear about the real estate agent's
stories and how they even got in the
position to list these million dollar
properties in the first place how much
does Sirhan sell per year this year I
think we'll do 2.7 billion we are
probably grossing 500 million dollars a
year how much did you generally sell
last year last year my sales were over
100 million I've been a real estate
agent since 2008 uh in New York my first
year I made like nine grand my second
year I made like 50 third year it's like
150 so every year I tried to like double
it from there I built a sales team a big
one it was like 65 agents but between
here California South Florida and the
Hamptons my last year as a team we did
so for a billion dollars in sales that
year and that was 2019 2020 I decided to
blow up my whole life and start my own
company basically kind of creating a
content to training to Commerce business
for Real Estate we will sell this
apartment it's 45 million dollars and we
will sell it through big Doc and the
whole company does that last year was
our first year we did I think it's like
1.4 billion our first year my first sale
was a 230 000 co-op on the Upper East
Side and my first year in real estate I
made 7 300 7 300 try living on that in
New York 2020 you sold over 100 million
dollars and most agents make three
percent or one and a half percent I
guess with the brokerage six percent
that's co-broke so yes three three and
then you split it with the brokerage
correct so on so over 100 that's at
least two million dollars
some that's what someone would guess
that's what someone would guess how much
did you make in your first year like how
much did you sell and how much did you
make like 80 000 bucks that's pretty
good for your first year so when you
sell like a 10 million dollar plate
apartment this is like an agent make on
that like 45 400 500 000.
and how long does that take to sell a
week to a year it's uh this house for
example we had on the market for 35 days
pretty quick turnaround for fantastic
what do you think separates someone from
an average realtor from the one percent
I think I've just been absolutely
Relentless in my pursuit of success I
saw who my competition was they're
already rich I already went to the most
expensive private school ever they
already have this incredible Network and
they're doing business that's just
coming through their parents I have none
of that how do I do this when they're
all in the Hamptons or sleeping or
taking time off because they have
nothing lighting a fire under their own
every single day I'm gonna creep a
little bit closer to passing them even
when I hire new agents now the ones that
have great networks that have been you
know wealthier come from successful
families for a long time they'll be good
but it's gonna be very hard for them to
be great what separating the people that
are seven figure multi-million dollar
year salaries versus the people 50 000
less or Nothing what separates I mean
you think about at least in New York the
story was Grandma's just going to go
represent someone just because it's easy
they have a friend in the building
they're going to go sell the apartment
then they're in and out of the business
this is my career this is not short game
this is the long game 17 years I don't
foresee myself changing careers anytime
soon so I think that mindset creating
relationships for the long term will
cause you know like my earning power and
my market to grow what else do you think
separates someone who's a top broker
versus like people just make okay money
or give up I think for me and my
business
organically like to meet people I love
to volunteer I do a lot of volunteer
work that's how I've met a lot of
clients because you're seeing these
people every week and it's not like
you're going there and trying to push
your business and be like sales pitchy
like I'm a real estate hire me I'm great
like if you're into cars join a car club
or go to a car show surround yourself
with other people that love the same
things and do the same things and you
can kind of make your business out of
that and get clients that way so if I
want to make a million dollars in real
estate what would you recommend for them
to do I would say Do not immediately go
into real estate investing I think a lot
of people think that that's where you
make money I think that's also where you
can lose a significant amount of money
for me brokerage is a no risk
investment your time is what you're
investing into creating relationships
for people that are going to pay you to
help them do a real estate transaction
that you have nothing to do with you
don't have to buy the glue or the nuts
or the bolts there's no capital
investment and that's what's always like
set me free because the risk is your
time but the reward can be endless how
do you connect with the seller or the
buyer in general our day-to-day blocking
and tackling is like old school it's
cold calling most of the time I get told
these cold calls are warm calls now
because they're constantly calling the
same people over the years it will
ultimately lead to a sale so if
someone's looking to build their Network
how would you go about it today feel
rejection it's just it's inevitable
you're going to get rejected and that's
okay there's a guy in my office he
started like a year ago
I never did this and kudos to him he's
knocking on doors this is like pretty
much unheard of and he's doing it in an
area in Brooklyn and he's had a lot of
success doing it what are some of the
weirder ways people have gotten wealthy
that you've learned her there was
someone we were shopping with for a
while they were one of the biggest
manufacturers of screws they ultimately
bought like a 55 million dollar piece of
real estate just a little screw what are
some of the weird ways that people have
gotten wealthy I had a client who I'll
just say generically they were in the
diaper company
of like invention of diapers and then
you'll get people who come in and
they're looking at like 10 million
properties and they're Tick Tock Stars
really we just hold an apartment for 21
million dollars to a guy that hit
Bitcoin at the right time and sold it at
the exact right time when it was like
that day it was at 65 000 he emptied new
millionaires were created every single
day in the world now which isn't
something that should get you down it
should be something that excites you can
we get a tour of this place yeah let's
do it right so let's actually step out
in front it starts here right this block
64th Park left 20 million dollar house
on the corner Bernie madoff's Penthouse
was up there this is 20 feet wide you
have three Windows across these are the
little things that I look at when
valuing a property or walking clients
through okay I will say this house was
renovated about 11 years ago so from a
finish quality everything is still in
fantastic condition so this kitchen in
particular is designed by a guy named
Christopher peacock based out of London
high-end name so it should then Garner
more money on this particular level
level you've got dining in the front and
living in the rear not a big bar but I
like the fact that there's a little serp
up station right here yeah so I'm the
bartender so I would just be working in
here
like so this was then designed as office
and kind of media room this passes all
the way through so this is cool right so
this is where you make your money
sitting at the office you pass through
and this is where you watch your uh your
YouTube videos and you guys stage this
this house was staged how much does
staging cost for
um this house sixty thousand dollars
what kind of person can afford a 45
million dollar Place most people that
would buy probably pay cash you know a
second from that like your down payment
if you wanted to do 20 you know is
immediately gonna be nine million
dollars which means your monthly costs
are going to be absurd it's going to be
like a million dollars a year this is
the Steinway building here which I think
is beautiful I love the best skyscraper
in the world this 45 million dollar
apartment is unbelievable it has an
original Picasso just chilling in the
hallway a self-flushing toilet worth
over six thousand dollars and a bar from
bigger than most people's Apartments but
what was even more shocking was how much
was being spent on booze alone
so debrief of the day we went to an 11
million a six and a half million a
almost 50 million dollar place I just
think it was impressive that a lot of
these people started out with making
nothing and then through sticking with
it through over 10 years they're now all
making seven figures a year and so for
me for everybody out there it's like
whether it's real estate whether it's
Tech whatever it is making content just
find the thing you really enjoy doing
yes it's going to be a little bit of a
struggle early on seven thousand three
hundred dollars try living on that in
New York but you stick with it like
appsuma.com eventually real estate
whatever that is you can't make a lot of
money if you like this video you were
going to to love this video right up
here where I go up to yacht owners and
ask what they do for a living and get
some business and life advice for people
like you and me Uncle Noah loves you and
I'll see you out there
