Get personally trained by Lorena Ramirez-Carrillo - a Platinum Award Winner and 9x Top 1% Producer - and learn how to build a real real estate business with hands-on mentorship, real systems, real support, and real client opportunities.
Whether you're trying to close your first deal, your next five deals, or finally become a consistent producer, YUB was built to help serious agents grow.
Have Coffee with Lorena →This is for you if:
A lot of agents are not failing because they are lazy. They are underproducing because they were never given the right training, the right environment, the right mentorship, the right systems, or the right kind of support.
Some agents never close their first deal. Some close a few and then get stuck. Some have talent, ambition, and drive - but they are still trying to figure everything out alone.
At YUB, we do it differently.
You do not need another video library. You need real guidance, real conversations, real accountability, and a team that helps you become the agent you know you can be.
No pitch. No pressure. Just coffee with Lorena - in person - and a real conversation about your career.
Have Coffee with Lorena →At YUB Realty, training does not mean sending you a link to a video library and wishing you luck. It means real hands-on experience, real conversations, real strategy, real accountability, and real support from people who are actively closing business.
Whether you need help getting started, getting unstuck, improving your presentations, converting more clients, following up better, or building a more consistent pipeline, Lorena and the YUB team help you sharpen the skills that actually produce closings.
And when there is a good fit and you put the effort in, selected agents may also work real YUB client opportunities through the Earn While You Learn Program - so they can gain experience, confidence, and commission while learning the business the right way.
I received my first pre-approved client the same week I became an agent, and we went under contract that same week thanks to Lorena and Eli's guidance.
Individual results vary. This testimonial reflects one agent's experience and does not guarantee future results.
Lorena has personally trained agents who went on to produce at a level most agents never reach. Recent agents trained inside the YUB system have produced 40+ and even 60+ transactions in a year. She has also helped new agents win the Rookie of the Year Award.
Production varies by agent and depends on effort, follow-up, market conditions, skill development, and execution.
Lorena Ramirez-Carrillo is the President and Designated Managing Broker of YUB Realty. She built the company from the ground up - no franchise machine, no inherited business, no investor backing. Just work, clients, reputation, and results.
For 9 consecutive years, she has been recognized as a Top 1% Producer by the Chicago Association of REALTORS® and has also earned Platinum Award recognition - only the Top 10% of the Top 1% have achieved this award.
But the reason this program is different is simple: Lorena still personally trains the agents who join YUB. Not a video library. Not a random office manager. Not a "figure it out yourself" system. Lorena is involved.
Lorena trains you personally. She does not simply point you to a video library or leave you alone after onboarding. You learn how to handle real buyers, sellers, appointments, conversations, paperwork, follow-up, and negotiations.
When there is a good fit, selected agents may work real buyer and seller opportunities from the YUB pipeline alongside Lorena through the Earn While You Learn Program. On eligible transactions, you can earn 30% of the commission while being trained and supervised through the process.
Lorena's husband Eli - a certified coach with Generational Wealth Creators of America and multi-millionaire - provides free 1-on-1 mindset and wealth-creation coaching to agents who want additional support. Most brokerages do not offer this kind of personal development support.
When you bring in your own buyer or seller, you start at the 70% commission level. Clean, simple, and transparent. Plus, the more you close, the higher your comp can grow.
Slack, GoHighLevel CRM with pre-built automations for nurturing leads, and ready-to-go lead-generation landing pages. Less than the cost of a single platform anywhere else.
You are not starting from zero. YUB has an existing client database, social audience, bilingual market presence, A+ BBB rating, and thousands of testimonials that help create trust before you ever walk into the room.
Real estate is not just scripts and contracts. It requires confidence, discipline, follow-up, communication, and the ability to keep going when the business gets hard.
That is why YUB also offers mindset and wealth-creation coaching through Eli and Generational Wealth Creators of America for agents who want additional support.
This is not required. It is an added benefit for agents who want to grow personally, professionally, and financially.
We don't just want you to close deals.
We want you to build a great life.
Honest. Transparent. No fine print.
When you bring in your own buyer or seller, you keep 70% of the commission. Clean, simple, and transparent.
On eligible Earn While You Learn transactions where YUB / Lorena provides the client opportunity, trains you hands-on, supervises the process, and helps manage the transaction to closing, you can earn 30% of the commission while you learn.
Includes Slack, GoHighLevel CRM with automations, and lead-generation landing pages.
Covers your E&O insurance, IT, and systems. Comes out of the closing - not your pocket.
"One real closing can put thousands of dollars in your pocket - while you are learning the business the right way."
Real estate is not just about getting licensed. It is about being in the right environment long enough to become consistent.
Some agents never close their first deal because nobody shows them what to do. Some agents close a few deals, then stall. Others have talent and ambition, but no system, no accountability, no steady pipeline, and no real mentor helping them sharpen their skills.
YUB is built for agents who know they are capable of more.
Whether your next goal is your first closing, your next five closings, or your next level of production, the right environment matters.
Come meet Lorena in person. See the office. Meet the team. Have a real conversation - no script, no contract, no pressure.
Have Coffee with Lorena →Real feedback from agents who have trained and grown inside YUB Realty.
Working with YUB Realty through the Earn While You Learn program has been an amazing experience. I received my first pre-approved client the same week I became an agent, and we went under contract that very same week thanks to the knowledge, guidance, and expertise of Lorena and Eli.
One of the biggest lessons I've learned is that working on real transactions and gaining hands-on experience is far more valuable than simply having years in the business without actually closing deals.
"I get to earn from YUB clients while I learn - and that is something you won't get anywhere else."
"My experience has been excellent. I feel that I'm part of an honest team with high standards. In a very short time, I gained confidence in this profession thanks to the support and guidance. Plus, I'm closing deals!"
"I've gained so much knowledge, confidence, and hands-on experience closing transactions that continue to help me grow both personally and professionally."
"I've learned so much from being part of this real estate team, and I'm grateful for the hands-on program they provide and to grow alongside people who constantly inspire and push me to become better every day."
Testimonials reflect individual experiences. Results vary by agent and are not guaranteed.
Lorena was not born into a real estate empire. She built her business from scratch, learned the hard way, and became one of Chicago's most recognized producers through work, discipline, service, and persistence.
Now she uses what she learned to help other agents avoid the slow, lonely, confusing path she had to figure out on her own.
We'd rather have 20 great agents than 2,000 inactive ones.
YUB is not a theory. It is a proven Chicago real estate brand with real production, real clients, and real reputation.
No. YUB is built for both brand-new agents and agents who have already closed deals but know they should be producing more. If you are new, Lorena can train you hands-on and, when there is a good fit, you may be able to work real YUB client opportunities through the Earn While You Learn Program. If you are experienced or underproducing compared to your goals, YUB gives you mentorship, support, systems, accountability, brand power, and a growth-focused environment.
Yes - Illinois requires you to be a licensed real estate broker, or in the final stages of licensing, before you can join a brokerage. If you are currently in licensing courses, you can still apply or reach out so we can talk about next steps.
No, Spanish is a plus, not a requirement. Many of our agents speak only English. But if you do speak Spanish, you'll have access to one of the most underserved and loyal buyer pools in Chicago - and a Spanish-language brand with 27,000+ engaged followers.
It means real involvement. Depending on your experience level, you may receive guidance on buyer consultations, listing presentations, CMAs, follow-up, client communication, paperwork, negotiation, and transaction strategy. This is not video-only training. The goal is to help you become a stronger, more confident, more consistent real estate professional.
It is YUB's hands-on mentorship model for selected agents. When there is a good fit, agents may work alongside Lorena on real YUB client opportunities - real buyers, real sellers, and real transactions. Lorena trains, supervises, and helps guide the process, and on eligible transactions, the agent can earn 30% of the commission while learning.
Yes. From your first day on the team, agents who want additional personal development support can access mindset and wealth-creation coaching through Eli and Generational Wealth Creators of America. There is no coaching fee for YUB agents.
Timing varies by agent, effort, market conditions, client availability, and follow-up. Some YUB trainees have gone under contract very quickly, including one recent trainee who went under contract in his first week. The goal of the program is to shorten the learning curve by putting serious agents around real training, real opportunities, and real accountability.
Even better. If you already have clients, past clients, referrals, or a personal database, YUB can help you improve your follow-up, sharpen your presentations, strengthen your systems, and support your growth. You keep 70% on the deals you source yourself, with YUB's team, brand, training, and tech stack supporting you.
