How I Built a 6-Figure Income from Real Estate (Starting with Zero Experience)

When I started in real estate, I had zero experience. No background in sales. No big network. Just a clear goal — to build a life of financial freedom and time flexibility.
At the time, I didn’t even fully understand what "real estate brokerage" really meant. All I knew was that people were earning good money helping others find homes and investments — and that if others could do it, so could I.
The First Step: Learning the Business from the Ground Up
When you’re new, it’s easy to feel lost. Listings, leads, paperwork — everything can feel overwhelming.
My first few months were slow. I was still working as an online writer, and there were days I barely did any real estate work. So I set the bar low. My only rule was to do one thing daily that could help me find a buyer or a seller.
Eventually, that small daily effort became a habit. Leads started coming in — mostly from online marketing. I sent hundreds of messages, and sometimes got only one or two replies.
But instead of quitting, I focused on learning. I attended every training I could, studied how top agents worked, and observed what successful brokers did differently. That’s when I realized this business isn’t just about selling — it’s about building trust and solving problems.
Once I shifted my mindset from "I need a sale" to "I want to help people make better property decisions," everything changed.
Building Momentum: Consistency Over Talent
Real estate rewards consistency, not just talent. I made it a habit to talk to at least five people a day. Whether online, through referrals, or walk-ins — I showed up daily.
Eventually, one deal led to another. My first clients came from online inquiries. I didn’t have fancy ads or a big team yet, but I replied fast, listened well, and followed up consistently.
When clients saw that I genuinely cared about their needs — not just my commission — they started referring me to friends and family. I also began creating content with Youtube as my main platform. I also posted on social media – it was mainly Facebook then. Thru this, I was able to create an effective way to generate leads. That’s how my client base grew.
Expanding My Reach: Building with TWR Group
Building TWR Group with my partners was a turning point. Being part of a solid team makes a huge difference. We provided access to top-tier training, listings from major developers, and — most importantly — a support system of agents who helped each other grow.
With proper mentorship and structure, growth becomes inevitable. From inconsistent commissions, I started earning a steady six-figure income. More importantly, I built a business that could sustain itself.
Tracking Growth: You Grow What You Track
Now that I’m using Nurture Your Leads — a platform for managing clients and tracking deals — I get to visibly see what I’m working on. Every lead, every follow-up, every deal in progress is organized and measurable.
When you track your numbers, you become more intentional. You can spot which sources are bringing results, where to focus, and which clients need attention. It’s true — you grow what you track. Having a clear system gives you confidence and momentum to scale.
My Formula for Success (and What I Teach Our Team)
If I had to summarize how I got here, it would be through three simple things:
- Learn fast and never stop learning. The market changes fast. Stay updated, learn digital marketing, and know your inventory. Real estate is such a broad field – decide which niche to focus on. Our team focuses on mainly mid-high end residential and commercial real estate.
- Build relationships, not transactions. Clients remember how you made them feel more than the property you sold them.
- Show up — even on slow days. The agents who show up consistently are the ones who get lucky "overnight."
The Opportunity is Still Wide Open
I’ve helped hundreds of clients find their dream homes and investments — and I’ve also helped agents start their own careers. The truth is, real estate in the Philippines is still full of opportunity.
You don’t need to be a top salesperson or have a big network to start. You just need discipline, the right mindset, and the right team to guide you.
If you’ve been thinking about starting your real estate career, maybe this is your sign. At TWR Group, we’re helping new agents grow with mentorship, training, and real opportunities to earn.
