Todd,  I started in real estate 10 years ago in my mid 20's and know exactly where you are coming from.  I think because of my age, I was forced to do things differently and not follow the status quo.  I remember when I first started, my Broker asking me if I had been contacting my sphere of influence.  I just laughed and told her, "My friends are more concerned with which happy hour they are going to tonight than buying a house.  My friend's parents view me as immature just like their kids.  I may have grown up here....but my sphere is pretty much useless for the next 5-7 years.  I'll be starting from scratch".

That being said, what makes a 20-something real estate agent a great asset?  They have very few outside influences.  They tend to think for themselves and be extremely motivated.  They have energy, stamina and a hunger for success that many older agents no longer have.

Most of all????  The profile picture of a 20-something agent actually looks like them!!!!!!!
