Real Estate Agent Magazine publisher Judith Dickson sat down with Jordan Skiba of Coldwell Banker to discuss the challenges of the industry and his goals for the future. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

REAM:<\/span><\/b> Why did you decide to follow a career in real estate?<\/span><\/p>\n

JS:<\/span><\/b> To start, I wanted to pursue a career in real estate because I come from a family of painters and contractors. As time went on, I realized it was much bigger than that. As a Senior in the UCONN School of Business, I\u2019ve done a lot of trial and error to see what the best career for me would be. Considering I use to work in a restaurant, I knew working and helping people was the career for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

REAM:<\/span><\/b> As a young professional, what is one of the challenges you face in the industry? How do you overcome them?<\/span><\/p>\n

JS:<\/span><\/b> As a young professional in the real estate industry, I believe the biggest quality I have to build in my future clients is trust. They may not perceive me as experienced or knowledgeable, but I have done a lot of research and work before my license to help show them I can handle it. My main focus will always be caring for my clients and showing them more attention than any other agents.<\/span><\/p>\n

REAM<\/span><\/b>: Who are your real estate mentors? How do you seek to emulate them?<\/span><\/p>\n

JS<\/span><\/b>: My mentors in real estate prior to getting my license were Steve Gold and Ryan Serhant, both from Million Dollar Listing NY on Bravo. I don\u2019t watch TV often, but I came across their show one day. After doing more research I found out Steve Gold is from in Stamford, CT, and that helped show me that anything is possible. Since then, I\u2019ve read both of Ryan\u2019s books, Sell It Like Serhant <\/i>and Big Money Energy. <\/i>Now at Coldwell Banker Stamford, I will be mentoring Ken Fried, one of the top agents at the branch. I will learn a lot from him, and I can tell we\u2019ll be a good fit together.<\/span><\/p>\n

REAM:<\/span><\/b> What perspective does the younger generation bring to real estate? How can clients benefit?<\/span><\/p>\n

JS<\/span><\/b>: Real Estate is constantly changing, and over the past few years the industry has changed more than ever. I believe your social media and online presence is going to be a huge factor in getting results in the future. As a part of the younger generation, I am already up to date on these strategies and how to work the ins and out of social media. Not only that but going into real estate I already have a strong sphere of influence with 1,500+ friend\/followers combined on my accounts.<\/span><\/p>\n

REAM:<\/span><\/b> What do you enjoy most about your day-to-day job?<\/span><\/p>\n

JS:<\/span><\/b> I would say what I enjoy most about my day to day job is the people I work with. My mentor Ken seems like he will be a great fit for me, and the office I joined as well. They work together and are always there to help. Also, the tasks that I do on a daily basis will not mainly consists behind my desk, or mainly on my feet. This balance in my work was a big factor as to why I chose to pursue a career in real estate.<\/span><\/p>\n

REAM:<\/span><\/b> What career goals do you have for the next five years? The next 10? Where do you see the peak of your career?<\/span><\/p>\n

JS<\/span><\/b>: In the next few years, I plan to set a strong goals for myself. To start, in the next five years I am looking to surpass 25M-50M in sales volume. Now this can be set for a ten-year period, or even achieved before my five-year mark, but I do want to set my bar high. I see the peak of my career being in about 5 years, so setting this bar high is a great measurement of my success. I will be 28 in five years.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
