- Quick Answer: Yes!
A lot of people ask whether you can be a part time agent with a full-time or part-time job. Yes you can! It's a lot of work.
Listen to my story, coming at you from Tulsa, OK, where I practice under my business, The Colvin Group, receiving brokerage services from Keller Williams Realty Advantage.

Hope this helps!!
Part time agent here! Sometimes it could be a struggle, but it's doable.
Agreed!
Interesting , how did you do it ???? , Real estate on the weekends ????
@@mcbins1993 back then I was only going to school and working in RE. Now, whenever I have a listing if I can't show it, my co workers help me out. It's def trickier and depending on other people. But it has worked out.
@@JoshIsOnAMission alright then 👍
Can you work from home minus closings ect? My husband and I want to be a team but we have to keep our full time day jobs that don't end until 4pm mon-fri. It's keeping us from starting. We wouldn't be able to be in the office mon-fri 8-4 like most. 😕
It’s tough. I’ve been a part time agent going on 8 years now. At times I get really burned out when I’m busy on the real estate side. I’m working towards a pension on my full time job plus have my health insurance. I will say I’ve learned from experience that one really needs to be doing real estate full time in order to be fully successful in this business and to be able to give good service to your clients.
Thomas Robertson yea with work it can get tough. If you don’t have a large client load it can be tough. And if you are looking for clients that can be hard trying to find time to prospect.
Great video breaking it all down! I’m a full time home inspector and also used Real Estate Express so this info is very very helpful! Thank you so much
I am also working full-time in the city! Glad I was able to get some intake from you. Currently in the process of obtaining my license.
I'm currently going through so much burnout, I've been having a mental breakdown about once month. It's tough, I work from about 430am-1pm from Tuesday-Saturday. I do open houses, door knocking and cold calls. I'm really just trying to find a formula and schedule where I'm not a wreck.
Thank you for your honest summary of having a full time job, while becoming a part-time real estate agent. I am in the beginning stages of getting sponsored by a broker, while Self paced online schooling is approaching. I am fortunate, my current full-time job would allow me to take calls, while I am working. E-commerce home buying is taking off, and I want to be apart of the potentialities.
Good luck!
Thanks for sharing, Good insights into that middle portion of most agents careers. 🙌🙌
Very helpful! Thank you
Thank you so much for the video! Very inspiring for us new part-time agents with full-time jobs! I figure we get the best of both worlds- one where we are making dreams come true and the other where we get to keep our pay, insurance, and retirement benefits! LOL!
It’s challenging but it can be done
Thank you for this advice! I am looking towards becoming a part-time real estate agent sometime after 5 or 6 months from now.
Thank you for sharing
Very inspiring video, I am planning to do, part time real estate agent in the next couple months. Ready to get busy.
Thanks for watching! Posting Pt. 2 here shortly!
Great feedback. I work full time at a law firm but my boss is cool. Plus I can use my office or conference room on my lunch if needed & get off sooner if I go in early. If I could average one sell a month I’d be happy.
That’s a great goal!
New sub also PT agent! Great video! I would say come to EXP Realty to get flexible training. Only firm I’ve been able to feel part of a tight knit community without having to be in the office.
nikkiau1 Oh really? Thanks for the info!
Thanks for the note!
This is a really good video about being a part time agent. I love your story starting out as an agent in March!
Thanks Rick!
Wait why is flip with Rick commenting on here….were you previously an agent?
Would definitely like to see the video on how you incorporated and why you selected an S- Corp. Really good content. New sub!
Armando Aguilar thanks! I’ll post something soon about it and explain.
This is a really good video, please keep going to make the video,
Will keep trying!
I live in Tulsa too, I’m going to be an RN 3 days a week. I was thinking about this too.
Great video! This is what I’m thinking of doing. Do you have to have an LLC?
I also work FT and a PT agent here in OKC/Edmond! Yes, have to be intentional in what you’re doing be laser-focused. Definitely doable.
Great insight, man! We love visiting Tulsa!
Yes definitely doable, you just have to be incredibly focused!
Great video 👍👍 thank You 🙏
I’ll be starting my virtual classes in two weeks. I’m excited but nervous 😬 I live in Tampa Florida I am a fire fighter and I’m bilingual in Spanish. What are the chances if I hit the pavement on my days off that I can sell 4 to 5 houses a year do you think that’s doable or do you think I could probably sell more?
Thanks 🙏
I'm also located in BA/Tulsa area taking real estate express courses. I also have a full time job working as a teacher. I'm nervous about being a part time agent as soon as I pass the exam.
Good luck! Feel free to shoot me an email at thecolvingroup@kw.com if you're looking at brokerages or have any questions! Exam is no big deal, and you can take as many times as you need! Wish you got paid more as a teacher, I respect what you do!
Great video, I just became a real estate agent in North Carolina. My challenge is I work full time 3rd Shift driving. I will figure out how to be most effective.
Good luck!
Keep the videos coming
Jeremy Taylor will be putting out another shortly on response to COVID and tactics you can use to get clients and save money
@The Colvin Group : Hi, I was wondering if while going through the process of obtaining your real estate license, you probably went with you legal name, but I see in your videos you probably are working for a brokerage and getting paid as The Colvin Group. I am interested in something similar, wanted to know how can I transfer the license issued to me as an individual to an entity that I plan on creating and getting paid under? Thanks in Advance
Thanks so much for the video CG. Needless to say a lot of us here are looking to do the same thing. One additional challenge I’d like to introduce and get your thoughts on is how to approach this same situation if you have two young kids. I know this may be grounds for directing me to a different channel but I’d like to know if you have any information to share regarding this. Is it possible still? Balancing full time safe job, part time commitment to RE, while being present in your wife and kids lives on the regular?
I’m thinking of doing this….how did it work out for you!
Most times they have a 9/5 job so they would never know unless you have weekends working
Let me know something
What about if you have a full time job and you are attending college but your goal is to sell a house a year is it posible ?
I bartend full time right now. Plan on cutting back to about 20-25 hours to pursue a career in RE. I have a flexible work schedule and I can live pretty comfortable on part time bartender tips. Located in RDU. Does my situation / plan sound decent to you? Thank you sir!
Yes, it does! Best of luck!
What you mean by “Put in the work.” Put in the work consist of what??
I don't have a full time job, I'm a full time student and for some weird reason I'm throwing myself into this😂 its kinda scary
Yea it can be! Starting out, I would just 1099 it!
Do it! One of my biggest regrets is wishing I had known about real estate and getting my license when I was in college. Less responsibility and all the free time in between classes for prospecting/appointments.
Thanks everyone, my parents were so supportive and everyone here on yt has encouraged me so I'm definitely going for it, wish me luck😄
@@vladymartinez1232 you'll do great! I'm so jealous you're coming to this realization so early! I didn't even realize the potential in being a real estate broker until I had graduated and was working a 9-5.
@@Perezident thank you brother, I will try my best. Im getting the course and hopefully take the exam soon
I came across this because I'm searching for how I can start. My husband and I want to be a team. He works a full time day job and I'm a stay at home mom/small business owner. Here are my questions I cant find answers to:
Can we work from home, minus showings/closings, ect.
Can we do showings after work, after 4pm and on weekends?
Can he go into office after he gets off work at 4?
What online school did you use and is it required to be in office training before you start? My main problem is getting started we have to keep our "day" jobs/ till 3pm.😆 The questions are holding me back from starting.
Do you have an office at a brokerage or just go in there to close, ect? I know nothing or how to make this work. 😆
Bro you’re awesome great video! I’m trying to do the same thing as you.
James Hunt appreciate it!
Norman Oklahoma here 👋🏾
✋
I have a full time job , and im single with no wife no kids , im 25 so this is gonnaa be easy because i also have lots of connections with people
Best of luck!
Any particular routine or prospecting schedule that you use prior to work and after work?
I try to get up early, use that as my prospecting time, and then use the lunch break for a quick follow up. Then use the hour or two when I get home to prospect and follow up further. Thanks!
@@thecolvingroup897 got it thanks for the reply!
Curious how 2020 has been for ya so far? I work for the state full time and am thinking about getting my real estate license to work real estate part time. Is it still working for you?
2020 has been crazy with my other job- but the market has been great here. I’m getting back into my prospecting schedule and finally some things are picking back up.
@@thecolvingroup897 how many transactions in 2020? I’ve had my license since Jan- haven’t done diddly squat but about to leave my brick and mortar to join exp.
Do you still do real estate
Are you still with KW? I just joined them as a part time agent for the training and support.
Yes i am! They have been very good.
Hey Ebony! I just got my license in Georgia and am debating whether to join KW. I am about to start my full time job and am scared that I will not benefit from KW’s training as a part time agent. So if possible can you tell me a little more about your experience joining KW as a part time agent?
How’s the parttime real estate going? Was thinking of doing the samething
Tough. I’ve transferred to a full time position with a lot of responsibilities. Doing a few transactions per year, which is paying for my license and some. Really just holding onto it for our future investments. We’re planning on buying real estate and renting/flipping.
@@thecolvingroup897 thanks for being transparent! I’m part time too and it really is a full time job
I want to get licensed. This is completely outside of my field. I have no marketing experience but am desperate for a career change. I work as a Registered behavior Technician full time during the day. I also want to go back to school. I often wonder if i am being unrealistic or putting to much on myself in wanting to learn about real estate. I would like to eventually ease my way in full time while studying.. What are the best online training courses out there ? I am in Georgia.. Thanks for posting. This is very encouraging.
Omg! I am doing the same path. I am currently working as a chemist (great job), a pharmacy tech (currently trying to switch to real state) and I applied to gradschool for masters in engienering next near. We got this, if anything we get money for stock market investmemt and focus on what you love. In my case is grad school to get a higher paid job at my main job (my main job does makes me happy but does not give me the passive income life I want).
@@arianamaritza Awesome, i think that it is very important to have extra streams of income which is why i decided to get in the field. I just started my training online.. Im really excited and looking forward to learning everything i need to be successful as a agent.
How much did you make a year part time ?
It depends on how much work you want to put in. In my first year, I grossed a little over $10k - it’s been slower this last year because of things at work, but I’m on my way to repeat my first year this year. It’s good extra money, but it comes with a lot of work.
@@thecolvingroup897 only 10,000 for the yr?
@@DraGnFly007 that actually doesn’t sound bad that’s extra money on the side I’m also in Oklahoma and thinking about getting my real estate license!
@@DraGnFly007 that’s only about two transactions though so pretty good to me
Nice sweater. UMNProud
too bad wow people have to pay bills mortgages where are they living?? parents basement? u have to do it part time until u have a bunch of money in the bank...better yet NEVER work a job thats commission based period
