One question I often hear is, “Can being a real estate agent be a side job?” The answer is, it sure can, but you might not get the results you want. Allow me to share my personal experience.
When I first got my real estate license six years ago, my intention was primarily to benefit my investment properties. For years, I worked part-time in real estate while balancing other commitments. It wasn’t until about two years ago that I decided to dedicate full-time hours to my real estate career. As soon as I did, I began to see full-time results.
Think about it this way: how many successful professionals do you see who work part-time or on the side? There are very few. Most successful agents work on their business full-time.
There’s a saying that resonates deeply with me: “The man who tries to catch two rabbits ends up catching none.” This holds true in real estate. If you want to achieve significant success, you need to commit fully.
Real estate is a demanding field that requires dedication, time, and a lot of hard work. Balancing it as a side job might work for some, but if you aim for outstanding results, consider giving it the full-time attention it deserves.
