The Dual-Career Advantage: Keep Your Job, Grow Your Real Estate Business with Full Backend Support
Dual-career agents often wonder if it is realistically possible to grow a serious real estate business while working another job. The truth is, most who try to do it alone struggle with missed calls, slow responses, and critical tasks piling up during business hours. The Shaina McAndrews Team solves this by pairing dual-career agents with robust backend support and clear expectations about who handles what.
You focus on what only you can do: building relationships, showing homes to your buyers, hosting open houses when you are available, and advising clients on major decisions. The team supports you with leads, so you are not starting every month at zero, and then takes over roughly 80% of the under-contract work once your deal is accepted—task management, vendor coordination, document tracking, and deadline monitoring. When an inspection, appraisal, or closing is scheduled during your work hours, the team can attend on your behalf with a clear brief on your clients’ priorities, ensuring no detail is missed and no deadline is blown.
This division of labor allows dual-career agents to maintain high responsiveness and professionalism despite limited daytime availability, which is critical for client satisfaction and repeat business. Because the team also provides training, on-demand recordings, and flexible coaching options, you stay sharp on contracts, negotiations, and market changes without needing to be in the office every day. For professionals in healthcare, education, corporate roles, or public service, this model makes it possible to use real estate as a powerful second income stream without sacrificing performance in either career.
