Part-time or Full-time Real Estate agent?  That is a question that is asked often.

 Here is an email I received recently via ActiveRain.

 

Hi Mary,

I'm very interested in learning more about a part-time career in real estate. A little background on me, I am currently the HR Coordinator for a non-profit agency in Erie, PA and enjoy my job. 

 

However, I have always had an interest in becoming a real estate agent. Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,  Sally H.

 

Dear Sally.

Thank for inquiring about a career in Real Estate.  Like you I thought about Real Estate for many years until I finally made the decision.  After thirty years I can say that I still love this career. 

Full-time or Part-time agent, that is your decision.  Let's talk.

Diane Leggate, manager of Howard Hanna Southwest/Sterrettania office, will contact you today to set up appointment to explain more about Real Estate as a career in Erie, PA and answer all your questions.

See the two attachments that explain the process of getting a license and the class schedule.  I am teaching the Fundamentals class in March.

Depending on the person, they can be effective part time.  They just have to have the drive to be successful at both.

I became a licensed full time real estate agent in 1981.  I remained that way until 1997, when I took a job with a software development company.  I remained there over 8 years.  But, those years were also among my most successful as a real estate agent, as I sold a lot of houses to the software developers and engineers at the company.  I had a built in clientele, that was easy to get hold of.  They were in the cubes next to me!

Hi Mary, I do not see how you can give good customer service as a par time Realtor. There are so many time consuming aspects to our work.

Feb 12, 2016 11:10 AM
Mary Yonkers

So, so true Noah Seidenberg Being part-time is like having two full-time jobs.  Not easy but doable.

Hi Mary --- I also thought about a real estate career long before making that jump.  With the proper preparation, education, resources and the right attitude - it can be very rewarding.

Preparation, education, resources and attitude will set one on the right path as you stated Michael Jacobs

I can't say I have ever been asked by someone about being in real estate part-time. I thought about ift for sometime when we had our art gallery after I left corporate (in HR ironcially!!) before I got licensed. I hope she gets in touch and makes the right decision for herself
