In the ever-changing world of real estate, it seems that more and more real estate “professionals” are taking additional jobs to supplement their incomes. It’s hard to give up those big bucks you make when you finally get a deal to the closing table.
In his post on the 1000 Watt Consulting Blog, The whole world is watching, Brian Boero discusses what could become a trend among recognizable, established real estate brokerages to recruit “dual-career agents”. This is just one factor that further dilutes the public perception of real estate professionals.  I deliberately did not use the term REALTOR® here, because the National Association of REALTORS® trade organization has not had a solid position or membership requirement that practitioners pursue a full-time real estate career, and, frankly, they get the same amount of dues from full-time and part-time members.
Although it’s and advertisement for a company I am not affiliated with, this video tells the dual career agent story brilliantly:
To the consumers who may be reading this post: Have you had a good experience with a part-time real estate agent you would like to share? Do you know if your agent is/was a full-time practitioner or a real estate hobbyist? Do you care?
