Can you do real estate sales part-time?
Moderator
🚨I get this question all the time, and the the short answer is YES! Some estimates have the part time real estate workforce at over 40% of the total workforce. Many people enter the business knowing that they only want to work part time as they currently have other commitments (another job, kids in school, etc). The trick to being a successful part-time real estate agent is not to operate with only part-time expertise. Search out good education and training to raise and maintain your expertise. Be determined to understand your market, the contracts required, and what it takes to successfully close a transaction. The best part-time approach I have seen was an agent that was very exclusive in client selection while being very careful to not discriminate. She had clearly defined hours of availability and was highly specialized in a certain niche (ocean front). She completed on average about four transactions a year. Of course, at an average sale price over $3mil those commissions added up!
