Hello BiggerPockets,

My name is Mateus Silva and I have currently been an agent since November 3rd. It has been everything and more that I have anticipated since a child, I am simply in love! Since my first day in the office I was on my own no mentor no guidance due to a poor pick of an office but I figured its not my office working its me so who cares right? After my first week I had nailed two listing agreements on my own, the following week I had put a double Multi family I had listed under contract! Closing is scheduled for next week I cant imagine how I will feel receiving my first commission check. After my closing I will be going to a exceptional property real estate firm William Raveis I am making the move because I felt as though I was left to drown in the crazy sea of real estate by my sponsoring broker who was always absent when needed. I know William Raveis has amazing programs in place to allow me to explode into million dollar properties and more but I want to go in already ahead with some tips in selling/listing Luxury Homes and attaining Luxury buyers to use you and not the other agent! 

A little about me, I am 18 years old graduated High School class of 2015(Honors). I work full-time as an agent/father(4 months old) and will continue to do so. I love cold calls and door to door farming, I am in love with real estate. I'm incredibly knowledgeable on  styles of homes to the history of the home, I am fluent in English,Portuguese,Spanish, and I dabble a bit in Italian. I come from family that deals with property rehab(flipping,buying to fix and hold etc.) with decent rental portfolios and also some family members in Brazil have large developments in the midst as we speak. I don't know if any of this may help but all I am asking is for Advice,Stories,Experiences,Tips,things you'd do if you were in my shoes etc.

P.S. I picked my first agency out of excitement my first ever interview and I picked it ended up being an agency that specialized in foreclosure properties but that wasn't what I wanted to associate myself with. I want to wear gorgeous tailored suits and show exceptional properties like I've dreamt of so I joined with a company that could do so and mentor/teach me the ropes my mentor currently has a dozen multi million dollar listings.
