When you become a real estate agent, you become an entrepreneur!  You will have many roles as a real estate agent.  Although many are lured by the independence and flexibility in hours, it is important to note that many who are successful will tell you to do this full-time!  Full-time agents vs. Part-Time Agents... well you know you will get out of it what you put into it so I recommend that if your new... take a leap of faith and go full-time!  You will need a reserve of 8 months of cash to get started for misc. expenses. 

 

What attracted you to real estate?  For those of you that just started, I'm very curious...why did you jump in?   Have you made the Full-time plunge yet?

 

For me, I started in 2006... although I was part-time the first month , I immediately knew it would require more and a full-time effort... this is more than just a JOB... it is a BUSINESS !  Big difference and probably the one I noticed and knew what I was getting into!

 

Stay focused on dollar activity like prospecting, listing, selling, and closing the sale.

 

If you have any questions feel free to ask as I'm more than happy to help you out! 

 

Thanks,  Tom Davis

And yet there are so many who are opting to take on part-time or even full time jobs because although they love real estate, it isn't paying the bills like it used to. And some are even questioning whether they should stay in the business altogether.

And I am certain of it that there are more successful "part-time" agents that you and I can count on both hands together. Some come into real estate with an already built-in referral network that they can tap into for business; others have to build their business from scratch. Best thing is, for those p-t agents who chose to stick it out for the long haul, if we apply certain techniques and principles to our practice, will be the ones looking back some years from now and saying, we got in at the right time. Best to get in when the market is bad, so you know how to whether the ups and downs of any market hereafter.
