I’m an engineer, thinking about becoming a real estate agent on the side. Any advice?

I’m in my late 20’s, I have a masters degree in engineering, and I’m from Ohio... I own a house and enjoy helping my friends look for houses and work on home improvement projects. I spend more time than I should looking at listings, and have always wanted to get into real estate investing. At this time, I’m not ready to get into real estate investing but I’ve been thinking more about becoming an agent.

Is it possible to do this on the side while having a full time job? Would an agency hire me part time? I know there are educational and certification requirements, but does anyone know if my existing college education would cover any schooling requirements and if I’d just have to take a test (in Ohio)?

Thank you for the advice!

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
