Young Realtor with Luxury Aspirations

[Jackson Mertes]

Hello! I'm a 20 year old realtor in Minneapolis, MN. I've been listing to BP since I was about 16, have already bought my first home, and plan on purchasing my next one in February 2024. Although I have my license, I am currently still working full-time as a leasing consultant at an apartment building. I'm working on going full-time as soon as possible; currently getting my house ready for some house hacking, finishing the basement for some equity, etc. I've always wanted to specialize in buying and selling luxury homes within 50 miles of the twin cities, but I'm not sure how I can get into that market. I feel like most homeowners at that level have their own agent that they'd prefer to work with and even if they don't, they'd have a hard time looking past my age. Any tips on how I can go about this most efficiently? Should I still door knock in those neighborhoods? Thank you!
