Offlinethis is actually my first post .. i live in nj in jersey city and im 22 years old and i feel as if my age works against me becuase ppl would rather trust someone who may look like they know what theyre doing rather than a 22yo punk lol.. even if i do know more or may work harder than others that are of my senior i feel like it doesnt matter.. are there anyothers of my age that use deans techiniques and how does it work out?..and what ways can i show ppl that i mean buisness and i am serious and not just a young punk who just got his foot in the door?

-Be polite
-Dress appropriately when you meet them so you come across as a professional
-Study up and be prepared to answer questions about how you can help the seller and be sure to LISTEN as they tell you about their situation
-Get some business cards so they know you are legit
People are more interested in the fact that you can solve their problems and take the property off their hands than they are about your age.
And lastly, Just fake it til you Make it!!

You can have obstacles at any age. There are people of all ages on this site. What is really important is how you treat and handle your clients. You can do it ! Happy Holidays !
is about 90% of making a deal. If you dress and act like a punk, you get treated like a punk. I started in my twenties and did fine;now that I am like fine wine (see post above), I'm doin' pretty well for myself as well.

Hi Anthony, I can remember when I was in your age group I didn't have nearly the opportunities that are available today. Make sure you take advantage of them and don't worry about your age. If someone looks down on you because they think you are to young, move onto the next person. There are plenty of buyers and sellers out there. Believe me if I could work with you, I would but I am just starting out too and I don't have the means to buy. Maybe in the future, I need people with lots of energy to work with me. I will keep you in mind sometime down the road. In the meantime, keep working on what your doing and keep your contacts close so you don't lose them. Merry Christmas and have a successful New year.
