Explore real estate potential with hidden career paths, top investment strategies for 2025, and real stories on what it’s like to be a Nigerian agent.
I work from home a lot (my very own fortress of solitude), but thanks to the wonderful National Grid drama this past week, I had to go to my old workstation. That meant I saw an old buddy, Bola, who’s always got the hottest gist. We were catching up when she told me an interesting story.
Apparently, her neighbour’s cousin’s best friend (you know how these things go) just quit their corporate job (in this economy) to become a real estate agent. And not just any agent – they’re absolutely crushing it, making more in a month than Bola does in half a year.
I could see the gears turning in Bola’s mind. For a lot of young people, there’s a moment in life where you start wondering if there’s more out there—a chance to break out of routine, do something impactful, and maybe set your own tone. Maybe it’s during that morning commute or when you’re sitting at your desk thinking—
…could there be something bigger for me?
The conversation got me thinking, and naturally, I started looking at some things. Real estate looks to be just that something (think of it; you probably know one or two folks smashing it in that field, right?). But is it really the answer? And what other real estate potential are we missing?
