Inspiring Conversations with Akbota Yerseit

Today we’d like to introduce you to Akbota Yerseit.

Akbota Yerseit

Hi Akbota, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
After graduating from a college in Boston, I felt excited about opportunities and building a long-term career. I moved to Miami as I always felt drawn to the city, and I feel a special connection to Miami.

After meeting wonderful people in the real estate industry here in Miami, I began my journey in real estate which is exciting. I naturally connect with people and have an outgoing personality, and growing up with a real estate background, I instantly felt that everything is aligned.

Can you talk to us about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back, would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Of course, I am very grateful for everything. Just like anyone, there were challenges in the beginning as I was adjusting to a new city, and going from graduating college to my professional development.

I didn’t know many people back then, so I had to get out of my comfort zone and network, make calls, and dedicate a tremendous amount of effort to developing professionally. I am grateful for the challenges that happened in the past as they taught me to be resilient, vigorous, and resourceful.

What would you say has been one of the most important lessons you’ve learned?
Staying calm under pressure for sure.

I think being gracious regardless of the situation is important, I always try to understand if someone has genuine feedback and reflect, and give compassion to myself and others. I have learned to stay calm, optimistic, and focused through meditation and being present in the moment.
