My first year in Texas Real Estate, Coming for the throne.

In this whiteboard breakdown, I’m giving you the real, unfiltered story of my first year as a real estate agent in East Texas. I started June 2, 2025 with zero closings and zero idea what I was walking into. One year later I’ve hit $1.73 MILLION in total sold volume, closed 4 deals in the last 3 months alone, and currently have $4.03M in active listings. On the whiteboard I break down: • My exact starting point and background (construction science degree) • The numbers month • Where I’m at right now and what’s next Whether you’re a brand new agent, thinking about getting your license, or just curious what the first year really looks like — this one’s for you.
