How This EXP Realty Agent Doubled His Income in Year One After Leaving the Jewelry Business

Kevin Choi grew up watching his mother and seven aunts immigrate from Korea and build their lives selling Hawaiian jewelry, spent two and a half years selling diamonds at Jared learning how to negotiate, overcome objections, and close high ticket sales, then quit his job and went all in on real estate with no clients, no leads, and no idea where to start. This video pulls back the curtain on what his first year at EXP Realty SoCal Group actually looked like including how he went from completely lost and frustrated to closing deals consistently and doubling his income from $45,000 to $75,000 in year one. Kevin shares the mindset shifts, daily habits, and sales skills that translated directly from jewelry to real estate, why doing three to four open houses every single week was the foundation of his early momentum, and what kept him going through a two-month dry spell that made him question everything. If you are a new real estate agent trying to figure out how to build momentum in your first year or thinking about making a career change into real estate this is one of the most honest and practical first year breakdowns available right now. 🚚 Moving to California?
