PHOTO: Only upon joining did she realise the importance of having a good mentor in her line of business.

When Yuna Lim made the decision to leave her low-paid office job to dive into the world of real estate, she did so out of necessity.

She was 25, mother to two young girls aged 2 and 4, and her family’s sole breadwinner. Home was a two-room HDB rental flat, and making ends meet with her meagre paycheck was difficult.

Then, a friend invited her to forge a career in real estate. The risks were clear to her: with no basic pay, it was “either do or die”.

“But I was told, there is no limit to the income you can earn in real estate, as long as you work for it. At that time, I just told myself: I need to earn more. Doing sales will allow me to bring home more, as long as I work hard,” says Ms Lim.
