Alex Preziosi, previously featured on the BiggerPockets Money podcast, has successfully transitioned from her W2 job to working full-time as a real estate agent. This move has led to a doubling of her income, and she is now on track to earn $200,000 in commissions this year.
“I ended up quitting. I gave, like, six months notice, you know. So I ended up going down twice a week for that six month period. Ultimately, yeah, left. I've been full-time. I guess you'd say full-time. A lot of times, I guess I've come to the realization in retrospect that I've really just been working two full-time jobs for the past three years, right? Or four years. But I'll just say, I'm full-time only real estate, you know, commission, realtor for almost a year now. It was last November. I had finally quit.”
“Now, since I don't have that W2, I'm as of right now at 100,000 in commissions this year. So in September, and then I have a few closings in the next couple of months and I'm hoping to do more, obviously. But I'm tracking for 200,000 at least in commissions for this year.”
