I can't help but notice that there are a good number of people who are working in real estate on a part time basis. I don't think it is a bad thing, but I don't go to a part time doctor. I am always hearing the biggest investment in most peoples lives is their home. I feel that I would want someone who has an office, is there daily, continues there education and has some real skin in the game to take good care of my most impotant investment.

Today, I called to see a home, and found that I have to go to the neighbors house 5 doors down to pick up the key!!  The agent is part time and doesn't own a lockbox. They have always been around (part timers) and have always been a problem.. I hope the consumer knows that great negotiation skills can not be honed on a part time basis.

Great point Sharon, there is no way I would go to a part time optometrist or neurologist.

Sharon...

How could any part-timer ever convince anyone that the are skilled enough to do the job? I can only think of one exception ... a long time agent that is semi-retired!

I've had to deal with a number of "full-time" agents who were never available when I needed them. I've also dealt with "part-time" agents who did a very good job. It's not really whether or not you do another job that matters, but how well you do THIS job, when you do it.

Sharon:  I work in real estate full-time, and sometimes that's not enough.  I can't imagine that part-time agents really are adept enough to handle some of the situations that are out there in this market.

 Yeah, I agree!! I'm just getting started in the business so I'm part time until I get rolling. Working 2 jobs to get enough money to get all I need to get started in Real Estate.

I understand the need to start out part time but this is the largest investment most people have so respect the consumer and get a partner/mentor and learn the business or go do something else.
