Most teenage boys aged less than 20 years, will spend time to sleep, play soccer or chat with girls. But not for this 19-year-old teenager.
He is Akshay Ruparelia, who uses every spare moment to sell the house or property. The young entrepreneur - dubbed Alan Sugar by his friends - set up a real estate agent while still in school.
And his smart business model has earned him a turnover of over USD 13,329,914 in just over a year. What is the secret to the success of this teen selling a house? You might be able to apply it.
Quoted from the Daily Mail, one of its property websites, doorsteps.co.uk has earned a turnover of more than £ 12 million in just over a year.
Now this 19-year-old man, had to draw up an economic and management study plan at Oxford University, because the company he built at school was growing very fast.
Initially, he hired a call center service to answer his company switchboard when he had to be in class, and called the client back after the school bell rang.
The idea proved so popular that this week Akshay's company became Britain's 18th largest real estate agent - in just 16 months after its website aired.
The company, which he started after persuading family members to lend him £ 7,000, has hired 12 people and is growing rapidly.
He recently even obtained an injection of funds of about USD 1,185,042 from investors on the funding company's website, in exchange for 3.25 percent of his business. The company is proud of its low cost and good customer service.
This teenage method is to recruit young mothers who are constantly expanding across the UK, where they will show potential buyers around the properties they have been asked to sell.
"I want to 'rip' the old way we sell homes in this country," said Akshay, who set up a business between classes at Queen Elizabeth High School in Barnet, London and still managed to get five A'Levels, three at A and two grades A in mathematics, economics, politics, history and financial studies.
"I soon realized that people had been fooled by High Street agents in their suits and cars that weighed them on, but they were not really selling houses," he added.
Usually mothers know one or two things that their prospective buyers do not know, even mothers tend to be more trustworthy than those who wear suits.
He revealed, if every mother who works for him must be honest, and tell the truth about the property they are selling. That's very important, because the house becomes one of the biggest financial transactions in a person's life.
Akshay could even sell the house billions of dollars in just three weeks.
"I have not passed the driving test and do not have a car, it's a house with five beds and a swimming pool! I sold the house for £ 485,000 and the land cost £ 185,000 in three weeks," he said.
