Find a Top Real Estate Agent Near You
Should I work with a part-time agent?
Does an agent need to disclose if they are working part-time as a real estate agent? If the agent is working part-time, is that a red flag? Thanks.

If asking an agent if they work part time, they should answer truthfully. Being part time can make a different, though just because someone is part time in the business doesnt mean a lot. They could be retiring from real estate or a variety of other situations. I would look at each agent independently to see if they are knowledgeable about the market and can serve you well. Being full time in real estate can mean in some cases that they are better equipped to help though best to talk with a couple agents to find the best for you.

My general advice is to work with a Top Producing agent, work with the best of the best. This should also be someone you like & trust. Someone who knows your market & someone who is a strong negotiator & who will work well on your behalf.

Being upfront and honest about your ability to be the best agent for your needs. I think agents should always be truthful about being a part time agent with their clients and with other agents. As a full time agent we are needing answers as soon as possible. We can show houses and list houses in a timely manner.
