Real Estate Agent & Another Full Time Job?

[Sherrine Milton]

Are there any agents on here who also have other full time jobs? I am currently working but my job will be doing some layoffs at the end of July. I am starting my pre licensing course this month and plan to take the real estate exam by the end of June. I have been debating about whether I should start looking for another job then work a full time job and be an agent while I am getting my feet wet or should I use this as an opportunity to jump in head first and focus all my energies on being an agent. If there is anyone who does both how do you balance your time? How do you make yourself accessible to your buyers and sellers, find time to market and search for new leads and keep your pipeline flowing? Right now I do not have a family of my own so that will not take up any time which I think is a plus for me. What are the pros and cons?

Any feedback is helpful.
