Tips on Being Taken Seriously?

[Carissa Porth]

Hi there! I am struggling with some people taking me seriously as I am a 19 year old girl. I have a few people who have taken me under their wing because they notice my potential but it's obvious when someone thinks it's some sort of joke. For a little bit of background on me, I am currently a brokers assistant, about 4 chapters away from getting my real estate license, but it's more of my money stepping stone towards investing. I don't dress inappropriately/talk like a teenager and I spend majority of my time researching real estate so I know quite a bit but I don't want to feel belittled anymore because of my age. Any tips?
