Can you really be a part-time Realtor??????

DO YOU WANT PAPER OR PLASTIC OR WILL THAT BE A VENTE OR GRANDE????????????????
It is not easy being a full time Realtor. God only knows it takes courage to be one. However, with a little common sense and the burning of the midnight oil you can make it a full time job.
It is amazing to me when someone tells me they do not have time for real estate because of their full time job. I ask you what are you going to say to someone that wants to see real estate during the week?
“I can’t. I only work weekends” is not going to cut it. Even if that is a stock answer have you ever thought of getting a working partner? Someone you can work with to cover your back until you are ready to be a full time Real Estate Professional.
It is difficult to be a part-time agent. It takes courage to walk away from a salary and benefits. Oh and God forbid you are on your own and have very little saved to get you through the tough times. Trust me I know how difficult it is. I also know how rewarding it is to have a business worth owning and a career worth having.
In spite of myself I always believe that I am a professional. I am a great listener and I ask great questions. If I do not know the answer I do not have a problem telling you so. I want you to have the right answer not what I think you want to hear. I AM A PROFESSIONAL.
So I ask you how can you be a part-time agent. Why not tell the truth. I am a professional full time real estate agent with working partners to assist you in your buying or selling needs. I am a real estate professional with a passion and desire to find a solution for your real estate wants and needs.
Then find out if they need paper or plastic.
