Current Real Estate Market Perfect Time for Work At Home Moms to Become Real Estate Agents

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) October 7, 2008 -- While most experts are hyping the depressed real estate market across the United States, there are a few optimistic real estate professionals who look at this time as an exciting chance to get back to basics and cull the competition as the less dedicated real estate agents flock to other careers. Author of "The WAHM Agent (http://thewahmagent.com)", Tina McAllister, claims that moms who have ever considered entering the real estate industry should do so now. "There is no better time," Ms. McAllister states. "Instead of the real estate frenzy of a couple years ago where everyone and their uncle became licensed and had clients fall into their laps, this current market is the perfect time to learn the real estate market from the ground up."

In her WAHM Agent series, Ms. McAllister helps guide moms who want to work from home as real estate agents navigate their way through becoming licensed and finding a broker. Logical appointment tips are balanced out with marketing ideas specifically geared for Mommy real estate agents. The books also provide samples of sales letters and other marketing materials from the author's real estate career.

Why a book targeting Mommy real estate agents? Ms. McAllister says, "Many mothers look to real estate as a career where they can make a decent income and have a fairly flexible schedule. They want to have a healthy balance between family and work. And I truly believe that a Mom real estate agent can build a successful real estate business while raising her family." She points out that there are still plenty of buyers looking for homes to purchase and that there are foreclosures and short sales for a new agent to cut her teeth on. "It really is an excellent time for a woman who truly wants to build a successful real estate business over time to enter the industry and learn the ins and outs of real estate."

Packed with real-life examples of Ms. McAllister's own struggle to balance family and real estate, the WAHM Agent ebooks provide a unique insight into how working from home and prospecting for clients as a "Mommy Agent" can be fun and integrated into every-day life. "I took my baby to appointments and my clients loved him!" Ms. McAllister states. "But just going through each day as a Mommy, I was finding clients and building my business without even realizing it. I never even thought of children playdates as a way to network... but it is?and a great way at that!"
