Today we’d like to introduce you to Bailey Dixon
Hi Bailey, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I took a leap into real estate as a full-time agent a year ago. It was a bit of a leap of faith, and it has paid off so far. I had been intrigued by the RE industry for a few years, and I knew I wanted to get licensed at some point. My long-term career goal has always been to become a successful house flipper (fix-and-flips). When I hit a bump with my old hourly jobs and my hours got cut, I was stuck driving for DoorDash and trying to make enough money to pay my bills. I realized I finally had the time to get my license, and I figured it was a big sign from God that I should act on it. So I did. In February 2023 I started studying, finished my courses in April, tested in August, and received my license in September. I then joined my team, Power Real Estate Group, in November. After completing a full training program, I became an active, full-time realtor in January of 2024, and it’s been a dream come true. I couldn’t be more grateful for a team that set me up for success.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It wasn’t always smooth. Waiting to take the leap of faith to become a realtor took me forever, as I was always scared. Once I got licensed, making that actual leap was fun yet terrifying. My training was intense. I had to pick up on new habits and work routines that I wasn’t used to. Once I got a full understanding of my work, I made my first sale quick. But it was up and down after that. I had a 2nd one kind of quick, then took a while until the next. I was tested with clients who posed difficult situations, clients who lost motivation to buy a home, a terrible economic market, and fluctuating interest rates. I had to make sure to constantly be showing clients the benefit of working with me, prospecting for people who need help in the crazy market, and taking care of my current clients. Since then, I’ve formed a steady process for myself. I’ve quickly gained a very strong understanding of my job and my role, and my communication and negotiation skills have become better than I ever would’ve expected in less than a year. I’m blessed with amazing clients, both currently and past, and I’m eager to see who I meet and help in the future.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I am a full-time Realtor based in Orange County, serving across SoCal (OC, LA, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties). I don’t prioritize certain types of clients or certain price ranges. I’m eager to help those who need it, and I’m here to make buying and selling your home a smooth and simple process. It doesn’t matter if you’re buying a 400,000 dollar condo or selling a 5,000,000 dollar house, you deserve somebody who has your best interest at heart and is working around the clock for you. This is about a place you’ll call home and create foundational memories in. That should not be taken lightly, and it shouldn’t be taken advantage of for a few thousand dollars in commission. I take pride in my work ethic, my communication, and my passion. I truly love what I do and who I do it for. That’s why I make myself available for my clients 24/7.
What sort of changes are you expecting over the next 5-10 years?
Man oh man, this is a tough question. This industry has been flipped upside down and turned around the last 5 years. Who knows what might or might not happen the next 5. Overall, I see interest rates trending down and steadying out in the 5% range. I see this creating a healthy market where many home sellers come back to the market looking for an upgrade. This should create better inventory then we’ve seen in recent times, hopefully creating a steadiness in pricing and allowing potential buyers to be able to adapt to the economic environment around them. As this all starts to align steadily, hopefully in about 3-6 years, the market will be less competitive and buyers’ dreams won’t be so lofty. That said, there will always be position to get yourself into a home, as long as you have a trusted resource guiding you.
