Some of the pro’s to being a part-time realtor is that having another job ensures your survivability because you do not rely on real estate income during slow times. Another pro is working another job where you meet many people might bring you more lead opportunities.

Although there are pros, there are also cons. One big one is time flexibility and client skepticism. If you are not available and can only meet a client a few hours during the day, it might make the client feel like you are not current in the market.

Another con is that being a Realtor costs a lot of money each month to maintain and keep a license. That must be considered or it might not be worth it economically.
