Tips For Managing RE Agent Hours

[Andrew S.]

Hey guys! I live in Los Angeles and I'm considering getting my real estate license to become an agent (and eventually invest in properties). Family time is important to me. My wife works a 9-5 (though somewhat flexible). If I become an agent, is it possible to manage / control my hours so that I'm not constantly pulled away from time with my wife and 1 year old?  Or is being on call all of the time simply the nature of the job? Would love some opinions and suggestions!
