Sabir's Story

After highschool my father did the dumbest thing possible,we moved to Tacoma WA it is like Langley to Vancouver so Tacoma is Seattles Langley, and invested in heavily in multifamily by 1990 he had over 2oo units(I should add that a unit cost about 5 to 10 grand that was the same price as Langley back then but unlike Langley were a unit is about 300,000 Tacoma is still at about 30 to 40 thousand,& the population is close to a million while Seattle is at close to 500grand a unit , the reason being Tacoma has the biggest African American population in the state of WA) back to me I got married in 92 & am still married have a 26 year old. Son just the one who is doing his residency in Seattle WA,I moved back to surrey in 91 but moved back in 93 when my son was born as I realized, that I needed a career so in 1993 I became a real estate agent started working for my dad and we had some ups and downs but eventually I found my footing by 1997 I had become quite successful and was awarded by the commercial brokers associate the most buissness opurtunities sold in 1997 38 million it's all on Google & here unlike Cana...Expand for more
da you get a straight 6% commission not 6% on the 1st hundred thousand then 1.5% on the rest so in Canada if you sold a house for 2milllion the total commission would be 6000 plus 28500 for a total commission of 34500 split 2 ways 16250 per listing and selling agent here the commission would be 120,000 USD 60,000 each for listing and selling agent and it's illegal to pay a kick back to the buyer ,but father made a stupid mistake coming here to Seattle but made up for it by being a great teacher in 1998 when I would sell a gas station or hotel instead of the commission I would take a 10 to 20% equity stake plus how to do a double whammy,and net commission by 2000 I had turned from a real estate agent into a devoloper,and built a solid reputation as a knowledgeable and honest person do you know how it feels to make you 1st 100,000commision you leave escrow in a daze your 1st million so the years from 95 to 2005 was one big party, traveling ( not so proud of this ) having a wife , girlfriend and a mistress at the same time,but I really miss my east van friends and as soon as this covid is over plan to move back
