Hey BP! Im Nate and I live in Worcester, MA at the moment and want to become a real estate agent and would want to do this full time, however I have some reservations that I know my come strictly from fear and wanted to see if maybe some experienced members of the group could calm them for me! I work full time as a merchandiser at one of the large soda companies and the benefits are very, very nice and the ot pay is very good as well. I have a decent income but its no where near what i want it to be and on-top of that the work is very boring and dull. My concern with becoming an agent is mainly these 2 things. 1, I am young and often get told i look younger than I am and despite being a very passionate person who is very driven to perform at a high level for not only myself but the people i am helping, I am afraid I may be written off before I ever have a full conversation with a client. 2, as most people fear with a commission based job I have bills I need to pay every month and knowing we are headed into winter where it may not be as busy, i fear not making those bills in time. Im not paycheck to paycheck but I don't have a ton saved up as this journey has only taken place over the past year so I wasn’t as educated before. I know y'all will be able to maybe calm my fears and push me into the direction I feel I already need to go. Thank you

HI Nate, 

Coming from a position where you don't have many savings, you have bills to pay and you have a decent job with great benefits I would suggest to find and interview a brokerage that allows you to be an agent part time while showing you the ropes. When I first got my license that is exactly what I looked for and I did find that. I have been with the same group since.

I have been a part time agent now for 3 yrs. I have been able to double my income with real estate because of the multiple avenues where you can earn income through real estate. My 9-5 is in the pharmaceutical industry. It pays me well,I have great benefits and I have bills just like you. However, I have kept it because it is flexible, I work from home and provides me a stable foundation for applying for residential mortgages (Different loans, especially in the commercial space handle finances differently). I bought my first househack to eliminate my biggest bill (rent) and am in the process of securing more units. As I use up all my residential options in terms of mortgages I find little need to keep my W-2 job and am now just steps away from becoming a full time agent. I strategically took steps, had a plan and was patient. 

At the end of the day you know yourself better than anyone. You will need to work hard whether it is part time or full time. But at least while you learn you can risk it on a part time basis. Feel free to reach out anytime!


When you first start as an agent you will not know everything. It takes time to learn but as you learn you can still work that w-2 job. You will know when the time is right for you.

 This is definitely the approach I’ll be taking in the coming days! I actually follow condor on instagram and have attended the rei events before and absolutely loved it. Tons of information and I found people more than happy to talk to me and guide me in this journey. I’ve found the real estate community as a whole to be very welcoming to new entrepreneurs who may be asking some basic questions but they all love to see passion which I always try to bring to the table. I appreciate it and hopefully I’ll see you at the rei events!

I look forward to meeting you in person. Our next one in Worcester is next week. Wed 630-10pm at the Worcester beer Garden. See you soon!
