Meet Michael Hopkins
While talking with Nick, Michael tells him that his background is in the hospitality industry, which is what brought him to Los Cabo originally. It was his employer in Texas that sent him to Cabo for a three-week assignment. After the three weeks were up, his company offered him a great job working in Cabo, so they moved him there. As such, he’s lived in Los Cabo for over 16 years now.
Michael is originally from Utah. He comes from a small town near the Bonneville salt flats. But then, Michael mentions to Nick that he’s lived in some really interesting locations. During the video, Michael tells Nick that he lived in Okinawa, Japan for about three years. Then, Michael lived in the Monterey, California area, just south of San Francisco. Finally, he had returned to Utah to attend college.
Now, Michael has been working full-time for Ronival Real Estate ever since November of 2021. He arrived at Ronival already having experience as a real estate agent – he worked for two other brokerages prior to working for Nick Fong. In total, Michael has about 11 years experience in real estate to date. And of course, all of his experience is in Cabo real estate.
There are many ways to become a real estate agent
As you’ll see, there are many ways to become a real estate agent. But, there’s what I call ‘the easiest way to become a real estate agent.” Simply contact a real estate broker. But make sure you pick a broker with many agents that you can leverage. They will know the process.
If you can convince a good real estate broker to hire you, they’ll walk you through the whole process. But if you don’t seek out a good real estate broker, or if you want to do it by yourself – DIY real estate agent, you certainly can do it. Number one, you need to get licensed. To get a license, you must pay the fee and go through the education program.
Once you have your license, get affiliated with listings right away. You need to have a platform by which you can put your properties for sale and also see other properties.
The most popular platform in Baja California Sur is the Baja MLS (Multiple Listings Service). But in order to become a member of the Baja MLS, you must work for a broker or you must become a broker yourself, which requires at least two years of experience.
