For the first time in a while, I treated myself to something nice. I’ve been wanting to get this Seiko watch for about a year now, but I told myself that I wouldn’t get it until I reached a particular milestone in my net worth and I’m very proud to say that I hit it earlier this week!

I’m not one for flashy things as I’d rather spend my money on experiences when I’m not saving or investing it. Heck, I’m still wearing clothes from high school because I don’t see the point in frequently buying new ones lol.

For years, I’ve followed a simple rule—before I spend money on something, I ask myself how long I would have to work to pay for it. If it isn’t worth the time it would take for me to earn that money, then I won’t buy it. This mindset has helped me stay disciplined with my money and get me to where I’m at today.

Now, I only spent around $300 for this watch, so it’s no Rolex by any means lol. I didn’t want to drop a ton of money on a watch, but I still wanted something nice to remind me of all the work I’ve put in these past couple of years to get me to this point. But most importantly, to remind me of my end goal, which is having the freedom to be able to spend my time the way I want.

I feel like I’ve reached a point where I can slow down a bit and not feel so bad if I decide to take some time to do things that are meaningful to me. After all, what’s the point of the climb if you can’t enjoy the view along the way?

I’m not sharing this to brag, although I realize it’s still going to come across that way to some. Unfortunately, money is treated as a taboo subject, but it doesn’t have to be. If we could all learn from each other, we could give ourselves the chance to build a future where we no longer have to trade our time for money and instead focus on what truly matters in life.

My hope is that this will encourage some of you to begin your own journey toward financial independence. It’s never too late to start. You may not know where exactly you’re going, but taking the next step that’s in front of you will eventually lead you to where you’re meant to be. I believe in all of you!

Holy guacamole!!! Check out this 1-bed, 1-bath rental located in Curtis Bay for $1,075 a month. This second-floor unit has a separate entrance on the left side of the building, ensuring you’ll have privacy from the other tenant.

With a modern design, this rental provides a stylish living space. It was just renovated, so you’ll be the first one to enjoy all of the upgrades that were made to it!

Utilities are separately metered and most of the systems and appliances run on gas, which will make your BGE bill lower. Rent includes trash pickup.

No need to worry about going to the laundromat since this unit has its own washer and dryer.

I'm proud to say that I have finally graduated from Towson University’s Honors College in just 3.5 years!!! Taking 5 to 6 credits a semester while being a full-time realtor was difficult, to say the least, but I had to push through it because each semester I finished got me one step closer to being able to focus all my time and energy on what I love doing most and that's real estate. I really enjoyed my experience in college and I'm very excited for this next chapter in my life! Hopefully, it comes with more sleep, lol. 😅

Today is a very special day for me because I just hit a huge milestone by closing on my 50th deal!!! And ironically, the 1st deal that I closed on was exactly two years ago on May 1st, 2021 just a few weeks after I got into real estate.

When I first got into real estate I NEVER would’ve imagined I’d be where I’m at today. But what I did know is that no matter what, I would still be doing real estate because I absolutely love what I do.

Getting to this point in my career has been difficult, to say the least. I would be lying if I said the thought of quitting never came across my mind. But quoting is not and will never be an option for me. No matter how difficult things get, I will always keep pushing forward. Being a realtor is not easy at all. But the satisfaction of being able to help families in one of the biggest moments in their lives makes it worthwhile.

I got into real estate because I wanted to become the best version of myself. I still have a long way to go to get to where I want to be in life, but I can say that I’ve never been more proud of the person that I’ve become.

There are SO many people that I owe it to for helping me get to where I’m at today, but I’ll probably run out of space in this post if I list all of them down.

So to end off this long post if you scroll through the pictures you’ll see just a few of the best moments in my real estate journey so far!

Have you ever wondered what a day in a life of a realtor is like?! If so, then you HAVE to watch this video that some of the agents and myself on the Dream Home Team made. And if you’re a fan of The Office then you’ll definitely get a kick out of this! 🤣

This video is a parody of a show called The Office. We made this video for the students that are a part of the Academy of Finance in Edgewood High School to ...
