From Employee To Real Estate Professional

Let me share with you ang journey ko from being an employee hanggang mapasok ko ang mundo ng real estate and now as one of the Marketing Managers of DRIVEN Marketing Group Inc. Ang ilan sa inyo will be able to relate to my experiences and some incidents might even sound funny.

I used to work with a big telecommunications company, was hired in 1980. In 1995 nag umpisa silang magtanggal ng employees under ng Redundancy Program. It was September 2005 when I was asked to throw in the towel.

I was fortunate enough na maka pag prepare for this eventuality because I took up medical transcription before ako natanggal. At the age of 45, nag-aral ako ng medical terminologies, anatomy, physiology, diseases and pharmacology. Mahirap but I was able to make it. I passed TESDA certification and naka pag trabaho sa isang medical transcription company sa Buendia in March 2006.

Akala ko I made the right career shift kasi during that time the medical transcription industry was expected to boom in the Philippines. Unfortunately that did not happen and the salary was 2/3 less than what I used to get from the telecommunications company. I left the medical transcription industry in Feb 2008.

From then on, kung ano-anong racket like networking & direct selling pinasok ko para lang kumita ako. I even tried working in a call center for 5 months pero iba pala ang culture ng BPO from my former company and I realized I was not cut-out for it.

I became interested in real estate from reading Robert Kiyosaki"s Rich Dad Poor Dad. Naghanap ako online for a real estate seminar and I came across an ad of Mr Lubar De Los Reyes on sulit.com. He invited me to attend. That was in August 2010.

After the orientation, I was really skeptical if I can do real estate marketing. Hate ko talaga ang selling; in fact when I was still with the telecommunications industry we were being transferred to sales but I had to declined because "hindi ako marunong magbenta." Yet here I am venturing into the world of real estate marketing.

Mabait talaga si Lord sa akin, imagine nakabenta ako within the first month of joining DRIVEN despite having zero knowledge regarding real estate. Most of all, napaka supportive ng mga tao doon, starting from the company owners up to my co-salespersons. Magtanong ka lang at very surely someone will answer your question.

To date, I am one of DRIVEN's marketing managers, one of the top sellers, having earned more than Php 2M in commissions. My biggest sale was just last March 2015, a whooping Php 61M condo in BGC. Real estate is the vessel that helped my dreams of travel, investment, relationship and life purpose come to reality. This time I know I made the right decision.
