This has always been a complaint of mine, but this industry was created by the part-time real estate agent. It will be always difficult to represent professionalism in this industry. There are so many part-time, some-time, and if-I-have-timers that the professional full-time people have to overcome the unprofessional image.
That being said, I know some part-time agents that provide better service than many full-timers. Professionalism is professionalism. The real problem isn't the time people spend working, but what they do while they are working and their availability to respond in a timely manner.
