PLEASE HELP A PART-TIME REAL ESTATE AGENT....

Hello All. I was wondering if one can be a successful Real Estate Agent by doing it only part-time. I am a new agent who enjoys the business but cannot financially afford to do it full time. I have always known that the amount of success we are rewarded with depends on the amount of time and effort we put in. My question is, how can I do this successfully when I can only do it on a part-time basis?

You see, I enjoy working the Open Houses and having the opportunity to meet new prospects. Training has taught me to 'close' towards an appointment or get to the next step when meeting potential clients at Open Houses. I feel that I am not as aggressive as I should be in pursuing the 'next step' or 'close' because I have another job that requires a lot of my time. I can only do Real Estate three days a week. If I pursue a prospect at an Open House, I believe I must be available to them at their convenience and not mine. It would not be fair for them to work around my schedule.

With the soft economy, I know many agents nowadays are working other jobs to makes ends meet. Please tell me how you are making yourself available to them. All helpful comments will be appreciated!

Success to All!
