Cigarorealtyltd:
HI, my name is Mrs Mildred Martins, When I began my career in real estate in 2012, I was newly married with a 6-month-old at home and lots of bills. My bachelor’s degree had led me down a path of hard work for little pay. I needed to make a change, and fast, but I also had a fire inside calling me to build something bigger for myself and my growing family. I didn’t know a thing about selling houses. All I did know was that somehow I was going to be my own boss. This girl was not meant for nine to five or stuffy board rooms. So in 2012, I got my license and hit the ground running. Well, sort of.   

No one ever tells you what it actually takes on a day-to-day basis to make it in this business until you’re in the trenches. I was eager to learn but also broke and desperate. I joined a well-known team in my area and learned as much as I could. For five years, I cold-called, held open houses, and worked 60 hours a week, nights and weekends. This was a great experience but definitely not what I had in mind.  
I had a bigger vision for my life. So in 2016, along with my business partner, I joined a company and partnered with them, CIGARO REALTY LIMITED, Since then, real estate has truly changed my life for the better. The flexibility has allowed me to thrive as a working mom, raising 3 wild boys while growing a top-producing team. I now have the opportunity to lead a group of eight amazing women realtors, which has brought to light the unique challenges that we face as women in real estate.  

Prioritize safety
Our photos and contact information is all public. It’s a necessary part of our business, but it also leaves us vulnerable. I know the women on our team are not the only ones who have been the victims of stalking. After many strange calls and late-night hangups, an out-of-state detective connected the dots and informed us of a man who was stalking women in several states that he found online. All were real estate agents, and all had a similar appearance.  We’ve also gotten calls from men who were pretending to be in the market for a home because (after some wasted time, we found out) they were looking for a friend… and we “looked friendly.”  
A potential sale is never worth your safety. Always meet with buyers at your office before showing them a property. If someone is serious about buying a house, they will meet with you. Usually, when I tell a potential client that we meet in the office for safety reasons, there are no objections. When you do meet new clients for showings, always let someone know your location. Be sure to bring someone along to open houses, whether that’s a spouse, a friend, or better yet, ask a mortgage lender to co-brand some marketing materials and come along with you. It’s a win-win.  

Value family
I’m sure juggling family and business is a struggle for all working moms. As entrepreneurs, we often feel the need to hustle and prove ourselves while at the same time managing our guilt if success comes at the cost of time with our loved ones.  
I personally have had mixed experiences. I know for certain that I lost a lot of business when I was expecting my second and third children. Even after explaining to potential clients that I had a support team to cover for me while I was home with a newborn, buyers and sellers (understandably) want to make sure their real estate agent is available at all times.  Although I empathize with their concern, there is no “maternity leave” when you’re self-employed. No clients, no income. 
Last-minute appointments are the name of the game. More than once, I’ve had to throw my kids in the car, bribe them with candy, and pray that they don’t break anything because my buyer’s perfect house just came on the market. Most people are incredibly understanding. 
At the beginning of my career, I would drop everything and run out the door whenever a client asked me to. I missed a lot of dinners with my husband and putting my kids to bed. Set clear boundaries for yourself or you may find yourself with strained relationships and lots of regrets.    
Schedule your family time as “appointments.” Date night? Kids baseball game? Clients don’t need to know what kind of appointment you have!   

Remember self-care
Real estate is so unpredictable. You may find yourself spending more time in your car than in an office. Some days you have back-to-back appointments for 12 hours straight and some days you may work at home in your pajamas. It’s easy to forget about taking care of the most important person (that’s you!) when you’re always on the run. But don’t let the erratic nature of this business get the best of you. Schedule time for personal development and self-care so you don’t burn out. Get a massage. Go shopping. Take classes that have nothing to do with real estate (bonus—you’ll probably pick up business while you’re networking and having fun anyway). Don’t skip this step. You can’t take care of everyone else if you aren’t taking care of you!   
Overall, I’ve been incredibly lucky to be a woman in this industry. I don’t feel that my gender defines me in this field. Powerful women have paved the way for decades and leveled the playing field for us.  
We truly bring so much to the table. We are compassionate, empathetic, and can juggle a million things like nobody’s business. Ultimately I have found that if you just be genuine, be yourself, surround yourself with people that make you a better person, then we can make the most of an amazing career and show future generations of women Realtors what is possible

You really have to give kudos to your husband for allowing you work in real estate industry, because not all men will allow or that.

papiilo:
Morning guys!

So this company where I work paid me twice in error. Do you think they will detect later that they paid me twice?

Whenever they audit their account, they will still find out...

I had a first time experience when my phone charger xploded on my face.

Na God epp me.

So why didn't you die?

madridguy:
I pray to God Almighty to heal your kidney and make them work as HE created them to work.

I wish there's something PMB can do to get Ekweremadu off the UK hook so he can run around for his daughter.

I am from the East and Anambra State to be precise, to show other tribes that likes licking the butt of their political masters, just the way they worship Tinubu.

Ekweremadu has been a serving senator for 19yrs, but has nothing to show for it, no single or reasonable infrastructure to his name in Enugu State.

As if that wasn't enough, after contributing to the record of high index maternal mortality rate in the world, they chose a poor boy's kidney, over their useless daughter.

I feel no iota of pity for them, because Ike Ekweremadu is one of the contributors of Nigeria's economy woes...

Messi1:
Two ladies rejected me in different occasions simply because I'm naturally dreaded.


I wanted to cut it but people say if I cut it I will die.

Probably you are not taking care of it.

And taking good care of dreaded hair cost between 7k-30k a month...

Sofrosh:
Please I need a loan of 40k please guys, I'm going to return it by month.

Reason being that, I need it for an emergency eye operation to reduce the pressure on my eyes caused by Glaucoma. The pains is quite severe and is causing me headache on one side of my brain.

All necessary documents for verification is available, just so you know I'm not trying to scam anybody. I have exhausted all my money on medications and eyes and I will really appreciate whatever help you choose to render to me please.

I'm an old timer here but my main moniker has been banned. I live in Uyo, just incase anyone needs physical verification and all.

Borrow from loan sharks

Candora:
That's a factoid.

This is no factoid, statistics have shown over and over again, how women misbehaves when given power...

Candora:
No
You all just afraid of seeing women prosper. Lol

Women prospering is not the problem, but you lots tends to abuse it.

Once a woman starts making or earning more than her husband, her attitude changes.

Candora:
Finding love in Nigerian isn't hard.
People get married almost every Sunday.

Your issue is that you just can't get enough of one lady, you want to have a taste of all.

Everyone is after money now, most ladies personally look forward to making money before going into love. Don't want no one talking us down at any given opportunity.

Women are not supposed to wield power or be in possession of wealth, because you guys tend to abuse it, by turning your husband to your slave and wanting to dominate him....It is bad.

Islandlady:
Seconded
Any Ipob that go rampage after the election should be Shoot on sight by our gallant army

Good riddance to bad Rubbish!

Don't throw stones in the market, because the stray bullet might hit you.

sarkinbauchi:
While Peter Obi should be visiting the Northern parts of Nigeria and establishing a strong presence there with his Vice President, commissioning Labour Party offices, he is busy travelling from country to country visiting international organisations thinking all the youths in Nigeria are on lockdown for him.

I'm beginning to see he is not serious at all about his camapaign efforts.
Nigerian youths should think of voting Atiku if the unseriousnesss of Peter Obi continues to persist. We cannot afford to allow APC come back.

Oga, campaign never start

Kagd10:
See all the attached below and cure your madness! You dey mad and you've got no one to tell you.

Comprehension is just the problem your lineage is suffering from

Kagd10:
Imagine, she's living in abroad yet insulting them.. Later, she and her people would start to cry and play the victim.


Meanwhile, Seun warn your moderator.. one of them has started again..

Why delete my post which is nothing but historical events and the truth?

Imagine people who hate the truth while blaming others for what they caused.. I always say it as it is.


This was my previous post below..


Igbos. Lol..

Toxic from birth.

Funnily, they were the ones who wanted to colonise the country after the British left.. the irony..

Azikiwe had wanted to try that in the SW despite the fact that the British left every region in autonomy of themselves but no, Igbo weren't satisfied but wanted to colonise the whole country. Azikiwe was left to lick his wound after he was stopped. Still he didn't stop and eventually spearheaded the Igbo coup which killed every leaders of every region which were none of their business while they protected their own Igbo leaders. He, Azikiwe travelled abroad at the same moment when the Igbo coup was happening. Ironsi came in and continued with the madness of what they had planned until his atrocities was withheld. In the end, Ojukwu declared Biafra but still wouldn't stop his greedy attempt in wanting to colonise the country. Eventually, their atrocities were fought against yet they're the ones playing the victim today.

They're doing the same today. Tinubu has never ruled anyone or their papa but they keep insulting him daily while they protect their leaders who achieved absolute nothing and are not better than Tinubu who's 10 times better than all their leaders combined together. Tinubu's legacies litter everywhere in Lagos such as Lekki seaport, RRS, Lekki trade zone, LAMATA, millennium schools, LASTMA, gigantic LASU teaching hospital, Eko Atlantic city, BRT and several infrastructure and policies put in place by Tinubu. As a matter of fact, Tinubu is the reason behind Lagos' bouyant economy today.. Yet most Igbos insult him daily despite the fact he has never ruled them or their papa

Both you and your history teacher are a shame to the society, unless you just want to talk for talking sake!!!

Apart from LASTMA and the millennium school, he Tinubu wasn't responsible for all that you wrote up here, so calm down and do your research properly.

For the fact that some of those projects started when he was in office, doesn't make him responsible for it.

FERNANDEZISBACK:
Look how she stupidly embarrassed her shit hole... like WTF?
Most Nigerians can be so rude and uncouth.. acting like black monkeys on social media..why on Earth will you address a dead lady in such disgusting manner..

I think she's a professor in a US University..then she's f**ked..she's a black racist but her fellow Nigerians might see no wrong in this.. is this what she lectures to her black students?
Most Blacks with their dirty attitude.. imagine if it was a white who made this statement..the BLM and nairaland branch of wildos would have been screaming racism and all..Eww..no wonder her ancestors sold themselves out to the colonial master..

The is, what she said, were they true or not...

In as much as the manner in which she said it publicly were wrong doing, which i don't support in anyway, but what she said were 100% true.

TheNiceGuy:
Please when will Peter Obi be arrested for identifying with and asking for the release of Ipob Terrorist Leader, Nnamdi Kanu

Nnamani kalu is not a terrorist.

What type of insult is this?

Even his biological brother will vote against his ideology and wish.

Even after office, i don't think he will ever step foot in Imo State again.

Michelle70:
I wont blame u, Nigerians are not known to respect people.

If u cant respect ur own leaders and cant respect the death of Nigeria matyrs, how can u respect a british manarch?

She partook in the death of 3 million igbos, during the civil war..

She aided Nigerian government in killing over 3 million igbos during the civil war

Anything apart from number 1 and 7, i hate seeing onion in my food

Vinnie2000:
Was in a Tricycle going home and observed that most Schools put a Vacancy for 'Teachers Wanted'.

The driver now said 'Na so so Teachers dis Schools dey find?

'If dem dey see am, e for beta nah.The Guy next to me, said!

He now told us he is a Private school teacher for 5yrs and that these days, Graduates ARE NO LONGER INTERESTED in teaching jobs!

That they are all into Plumbing, Tailoring, Graphics designs, Online selling, Bitcoin trade, Yahoo, Hookups, etc.

SO, THE QUESTION IS

What is the cause of this?

If this Ugly trend continues, Who will Teach the New generation of Nigerian children

Or in 2035 or 2040, will Education in Nigeria be something, Dispensable or Optional

Pls move to FP. Tanx.

The job is slavery and the pay is nothing to write home about.

rusher14:
Obey the rules and nobody would be after you.

Same way armed robbers dislike police.

Which rules are we talking about?

If your vehicle breaks down on the high way, their primary objective was to help assist take the car off the road, for easy movement of other motorist, but they have turned it to a money make organisation

I hate lastma with passion, their job is to frustrate motorists....

candidtalk:
Igbos always so hateful and ungracious. There is nothing or no one they do not hate. Not a fan of the Monarchy per se but the queen was a nice, gracious, fair and selfless monarch.

Very convenient for this hateful Uju woman, typical of the average Igbo, to try and taint the queen's passing by making her the arrowhead of British imperialism.

You just want to talk because others are talking.

Should we talk about our colonialism as a country, or the role they played against the Biafrans during the civil war.

What the UJU lady said was 100% true!!!

datola:
How can a person of her status who is a scholar at Carnegie Mellon uttered such a despicable statement

IQ without Emtional Intelligence is dystrastrous.

Dr. Uju Anya is a university professor and researcher in applied linguistics, critical sociolinguistics, and critical discourse studies primarily examining race, gender, sexual, and social class identities in new language learning through the experiences of African American students.

Nigerian again for the wrong reason!

But believe it or not, Britain's role in the Nigeria civil war was nothing to write home about.
