What to do after passing real estate exam

Question

I passed my real estate exam in May.  Can’t find a willing broker to work with me part time?  What are some other options for me?

@Marian Huish I am not an investor yet but that is a goal of mine as well.  I will update my profile.   Thank you for response.  Appreciate you taking the time.

@Pam Wils I wouldn’t market yourself as a part-time broker. I got in to real estate sales with a 56 hour per week career, but sold it as a second career I was pursuing simultaneously. I have been a top producing agent several years because I understand the importance of time management. Time in the office does not equal success. I’ve also worked with an agent who markets herself as an agents agent. She does showings and meets inspectors for a fee. She gets paid whether the buyer buys or not. The upside is not as great, but the money should start flowing immediately and it’s not bad $/hour. Someone will work with you. You’re looking at the wrong places if they’re all saying no.

@Bruce Lynn Thank you!   I did reach out to one in my network that offered to mentor if I did some admin work for him but I never heard from him again.  I will keep looking…

Work as a VA for another agent.

Work on a team....for example only working open houses on weekends.

There is a brokerage somewhere that will allow you to work part time, but you may need to sell them on the idea.....how you will be able to attend training, how many hours you plan to work, what's the plan for moving to full time.

Find a broker like Teifke real estate that allows you to be part time and buy your own real estate

@Pam Wils Where are you located? Another agent in your area might be able to help direct you.

Marian Huish · Answer

Do you have experience as an Investor @Pam Wils?  (It would be helpful if you can complete your profile so that folks can get to know a bit about you when responding to your posts.)  Regarding working as a part time agent, eXp Realty offers over 60 hours of training per week, many of which are recorded so that makes it a good fit for part-time agents.  It can be challenging but you'll need to take the initiative to get the training, begin building your database and work closely with your mentor and/or team if you want to begin actively working as a Realtor and eventually work full time as a Realtor if that is your goal.  Of course the good thing about working part-time is that you'll still have income to draw from while you're building your business and you could also potentially have a source of leads from your current co-workers, etc., depending on your line of business.  Best of luck-
