Did anyone try working as real estate agent as for side income? Do you think it worths getting ~77 hours of course and get the license? Thinking of ways to get side income and one of this came in mind.

My husband “retired” at 52 and got his real estate license so he could leave his high stress career for something “less stressful”. It wasn’t “less stressful”. Lol. We did use it to sell our home and then purchase a new home which saved us 30k in commissions. It’s A LOT of work to get started in real estate and long hours where you are making NOTHING. You have to be committed.

Thanks. But I think gradually when you are known in the market, it gives a good income down the road. It takes time to start any new thing to get it to next level. Hope your husband gets a good profit down the road, good luck!

My dad owns a brokerage. Your idea can work if you’re selling to your network, but you’ll have a hard time building new business. It wouldn’t really make sense to do right now, given there is zero inventory.

Yes I have held my license since 2016. It’s extremely hard in my area to do it part time.if you choose to try it make sure you save that first commission check for your yearly dues. Or you might want to try to become part of a team. That way one of you is always available for the client. Some clients I worked with for years until they found a house. In no way is it quick money or easy.

Does anyone have any insight into partners retiring early? I am at a point where I need to consider leaving if I am not aiming for partner. I don’t see myself working past my 40s. My partner and I are not big spenders and anticipate have enough to retire comfortably in 40s (obviously a lot can change). I have been assured I will become SM in next year (currently 31 years old).

For next year my goal increased by 2.5X, and less of what I bring in counts towards that target. I really enjoy my job but I will essentially be getting a large pay cut. Lost in what to do besides quit??
