How a Brand-New Agent Closed 3 Deals in Year One

By Virtual Properties Realty Team

Virtual Properties Realty was founded in 1999 by mother-and-son broker team Karen Burks and Steve Wagner with a simple goal: create a better real estate company for agents and the clients they serve.

Starting a real estate career from scratch is intimidating. You want to become a great agent, but you have no idea where to begin, and that gap between wanting it and knowing how to do it stops a lot of talented people before they ever get going.

That’s exactly where Ali found himself when he joined Virtual Properties Realty. He came from a completely different background with no real estate experience at all, and it was his first time in the industry. What he needed was a way to start. What he found was a coaching program that changed everything.

The offer that made it an easy yes. The thing that got Ali to try VPR’s coaching in the first place was simple: there was no upfront cost. The program was free until he closed a deal, which meant the only time he paid anything was after he had a closing in hand. For someone brand new and understandably cautious, that removed the risk entirely. As he puts it, it was a win-win, so he decided to go for it.

A coach who made it click. Once he started, Ali was paired with his coach, Jessica, and that’s when things leveled up. Jessica made the whole process smooth and easy to follow, and after that there was no stopping. Ali joined VPR, started his coaching, and within a month he’d joined a team.

What stands out most to him about the coaching isn’t just the encouragement; it’s the system. If you follow the system, he says, you get the deal. It’s that straightforward. When questions come up, he has his coach’s personal cell number and can reach out anytime he needs to.

The results speak for themselves. In roughly his first seven to eight months, Ali closed three deals with two more pending, all smooth closings without any issues. For an agent who walked in with no experience and no clear starting point, that’s a remarkable start, and he credits the coaching for all of it.

Ali’s take on the program is blunt: if you want to be successful, get it. There’s no upfront cost, top-notch coaches, two of them, one a broker as well, and he doesn’t believe another brokerage offers anything like it. It’s a genuine win for new agents who are ready to put in the work.
