Realtors- Can you be a part time realtor?

Yes.  But it's best to ask the policy of the agency that you work for.  Remember, you are working on commission; the more you work, the better your chance to sell a house.

Hook into the Realtor business.  Contact each and every Realtor you can find and ask them to point business to you as they have buyers that require financing.  These are typical questions that Realtors receive and you want to be on their short list.  Also look for residential real estate trade shows and get your name out there by making contacts at those.

realtors make good money.  you wouldn't even have to go to college. you'd still have to do a little math, but i doubt that it would be hard.

a good realtor can help u get about 16% more for your home than u could get when selling on your own according to the president of the national association of realtors.\n\nThe best resource is a highly-qualified Realtor, if you want to sell for top dollar.

Get in touch with realtors.  Let them know all the areas that you can help with.  For example, before a house is sold many times there are repairs required.  The realtor may need this done quickly.  If you are interested in that kind of work let them know that you are available to do it.  If you are strictly looking for full house building projects let several realtors know that.  Join the local chamber of commerce.  Create a website and get it listed all over the web.  Here is a cheap place the start: http://www.kahmer.com

I was a Realtor for a while.  In order to become a Realtor, you have to take and pass a state test and a national test covering the basics of real estate laws and terminology.  There are many classes for this, offered through Realtor associations and independently.  You will need a broker to back you, so one way to do it is to go to a local brokerage, tell them you're interested in becoming a Realtor, and get information from them about local classes.  \n\nIn the classes, you'll learn what you need to know to pass the test, as well as where to take the test and what to expect.  There are a number of fees involved and you'll need to pay the brokerage for office space, phone services, etc.  So have a several hundred dollars at the ready.  It's going to take a while to get started, clients will not just fall into your lap.  Be sure you have someone else to lean on that first year.  I know someone who made $40K her first year, but that's unrealistic for most starting Realtors.  Get ready to make around $20k the first year after putting in twice the hours you would for any other job.\n\nOnce you become established, it can be a great career and there's plenty of money in it.  It can be fun, and it's fulfilling to help people find the home of their dreams.  And that happens.  Age is not a concern, as long as you are knowledgeable and personable.  That said, older Realtors probably don't have to work as hard to gain a client's trust and respect, as they may seem to have more years of experience even if they don't.\n\nThe key is dedication and long hours combined with a great personality... you're really selling yourself more than you're selling property, as people need to place their faith in you.  I didn't have the passion or the drive, so I switched careers.  But if you really want it, it can be a fantastic career and I have several friends doing quite well for themselves in the industry.  Good luck!  :)

If you did not sign a representation agreement that states specific time frames.  All you have to do is tell the Realtor you are going to work with someone else.  If you have a signed Real Estate Contract, the Realtor will be due the commission regardless.  \n\nI suggest speaking first to the Realtor's Broker or Manager and asking them to take over the day to day dealings.

Sunny is correct in telling you that you need only get your RE license to start selling.  However, what Sunny failed to mention is that these companies (at least the successful ones) will want you to have at least bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Accounting or Economics.  Most of them will want you to have your real estate brokers’ license as well.\nAlso, please don’t be fooled by Sunny’s flippant comments about just taking the classes and getting started.  I’m not saying you can’t do well at it, I’m saying it takes a lot of VERY HARD WORK to make your self successful at it.  I know several commercial brokers, and a few successful ones, and the ones that are successful don’t half ass it, they work 60-70 hrs a week.  The payoff for these few is Huge, I’m talking high six and sometimes seven figure incomes but you have to want it, and you have to work for it!\nI hope I have given you a little bit better insight into the world of commercial real estate.  \nI truly wish you the best!

It is not hard to be a real estate agent. However, it can be difficult to be a succesful one! Yes, you make your own hours, but at the same time, your clients may have their own hours in mind for you. flexibility is key to being succesful - be there for your clients when they need you. Heck - paint your car yellow, and call yourself a taxi... If they want to buy a house, YOU need to be the one that shows them the house of their dreams! The financial rewards can be significant if you're willing to work to get it. It's not nearly as easy as one might think to make a buck in the market. Consider how many agents there are in your area. EVERY single one of them are potentially your competition. What are you able to offer your clients that the other ones can't?

yes.  not all real estate agents are brokers.\n\nat closing a check is cut to the selling agency and the listing agency.  i turn the check into the broker and he cuts me a check for my commission.

First of all you have to have to be a licensed real estate salesperson in your state. Then when you hang your license with your broker they will tell you if and which Board of Realtors® to join. You will be charged annual dues and be required to take Code of Ethics classes.

Becareful when you ask the average pay for a realtor.  This is one of those fields where the 80/20 rule applies.  80% of the production or commission is made by 20% of the realtors.

Your realtor would not have access to that info.  S/he can try to feel out the other agent, but there's nothing to say the other agent will be telling the truth.  Come to think of it, there may not even be multiple offers, it could be a negotiating ploy.
