Federal job as a Realty Specialist

[Timothy Colman]

Hello,

I am a Marine Corps Veteran and a current GS employee (military police/gs7) and have an active FL real estate license. Additionally, I am working toward a Masters in Business and will graduate in May of 2021. 

I yearn to obtain a job in the federal sector in RE since that is my passion and not law enforcement. 

I am hoping to gain some insight from anyone who may current hold this position in the federal sector in regard to the difficulty being hired and the pros and cons of such a position. After reading the usajobs posting for realty specialist with the Dept. of the Navy, I should be able to come in as a GS9 simply based on education.

A last concern I have is practicing real estate sales in my off time and whether that is a conflict of interest.
