Can you be a Part-Time Real Estate Agent?

[Jason Cook]

Hello, as the question states I was wondering if you are able to be a part-time real estate agent maybe on the weekends or after hours for work?

I am currently an Engineer that makes about $70k but my true passion is real estate as I have a few real estate investments and knowledge on market trends. I know real estate agents make less but wondering if it would be smart to maybe start as a part time agent on weekend if that is a thing? For those that are agents do you enjoy your career and would you recommend a career in real estate? 

Thanks in advance for your replies! :)

Can you be part time? Absolutely.

Are you likely to be successful being part time? Probably not.

When I have offers due on my listings at 12 noon on a Tuesday, and Im calling all the agents who submitted offers to negotiate those contracts.....and the part time guy who is at his day job doesnt answer...what do you think happens to their offer?
