The Green-side Story: Landscape Services
Almost everyone loves a house with a great yard. Get your hands dirty by providing landscape services which can put you in touch with homeowners. Turn those brown thumbs green, or at least get a spray tan.

Walk the Talk: House Cleaning Services

Move it or Lose it: Moving Services
Nobody enjoys moving. Unless you’re offering help, of course. A part-time gig in moving services can connect you with recently sold home owners and potential buyers. It might be a lot of grunt work, but hey, who needs a gym when you’re moving couches?

Seal the Deal: Notary Public
Here’s a chance to wield power, absolute power. Well, the power to authenticate documents at least. As a part-time notary, you could network with realtors, lawyers, and loan officers. Also, who doesn’t love a stamp with their name on it?
Hot Take!
The world of real estate can feel as terrifying as being lost in a maze; add a small job on the side and you might be thinking this is a ‘Minotaur’ situation! However, these six part-time gigs are actually golden threads that help navigate the labyrinth. By sprouting several extra tentacles (like an octopus in a suit), you can reach out to various sectors in the real estate world, making you the spider in the center of the web, wrangling connections instead of insects. Your SOI isn’t just going to inflate like grandma’s famous soufflé, it’s going become as buff as a bodybuilder at the peak of ‘gains’ season. So, dive in, jump out, and remember, every job is just a series of tasks, or as I like to call them, future anecdotes for cocktail parties.
