If you're going to be driving for Uber or Lyft, you're not going to be doing the things you need to in order to be successful in real estate.  You need to choose.  Maybe if Uber or Lyft supplies fast cash, you should just do that and keep the cash flowing. 

Personally, I'm not getting in a car with strangers... as a driver or a passenger.

Nope. I suggest you concentrate on RE if you want to be a success.

I "Uber" my relocation clients for Charlotte tours!

Seriously, no - time does not permit a second job for me!

I wouldn't get in a car with most of my realtor friends LOL

Never! Low pay and a bit of danger.

No.

Me personally, no... but if you need extra money then you have to do what you have to do. 

Why not try dog walking or newspaper deliver?

Hey. a lot of agents for MLM structured franchises, RECRUIT newbies right off the cash registier at Dollar General.

I don't Uber or Lift. However, I would be interested in placing my singage in your ride.

Many good responses.

No plans for that in my future. 

I barely have time to drive for Bob.

What is an Uber or a Lift? 

I do not. 

I ride with Uber for convenience.

I don't remember anyone mentioning that they did.

I'm a REALTOR, it often feels like I'm a driver for my buyers.

Do you plan to charge people for driving them around to show houses?

No.  Real Estate keeps me busy.

No

I met a Lift driver who was an agent in Raleigh, NC. 

OMG.... imagine picking up one of your potential buyers!!!  

No.  No client will respect you if they see you can't afford to make a living at real estate and also drive for those companies.

No, but there’s an App for that!

Just a heads up. While you can earn some "fast cash", just know that there are many downsides.

1. They say drivers earn about $15 per hour (with Lyft drivers earning more). https://rideshareapps.com/how-much-do-lyft-drivers-make/. BUT... that is before (self employed) taxes, gas, and other car expenses.

2. The best money is earned on holidays and peak times. Peak times are 10pm to 3am - the drinking crowd - which is also often the "vomiting in your car" crowd.

3. You need additional insurance to be fully protected. If you get in an accident, you will be covered by the insurance of Uber of Lyft, however they carry $1,000 and $2,500 deductibles respectively. If you don't disclose to your insurance company that you are a commercial driver (because that is what you become), they could drop you or fail to pay any claim resulting from an accident while driving professionally.

Yes, this is first hand experience. Back in 2016, Lyft was new to Phoenix and was paying $25-$40 per hour guaranteed. Being a night owl and perpetual side hustler, I drove those late nights and made about $300 per weekend for about 10 hours worth of work (this included tips). I actually enjoyed the interaction with most of the people. It was often an interesting social experiment - and sometimes a sad glimpse into empty and hurting souls.

Sadly, there is also a rise in crime against drivers. Ironically, a local real estate agent who was driving for Lyft part time ended up in a crossfire situation and got shot (wrong place and wrong time) and is still in rehab over a year later. Just last week a pregnant Lyft driver was murdered here in Phoenix.

I was a speaker at a Side Gig Summit last year and spoke about rideshare driving. Here is a Rideshare Drivers Guide I put together for that audience.

My two cents is that Lyft is a better company than Uber and they have a better company culture. While I don't drive anymore, I am a customer and always choose Lyft over Uber.

I have heard of lots of agents doing this, and while I understanding needing to keep the cashflow going, many of them see it as a marketing opportunity which I don't. I cannot imagine someone seeing their Uber or Lyft driver as a solid real estate professional... otherwise they would not be driving. When I drove, I never talked about what I did professionally, nor did it come up much. 

Not us; we are full-time professional real estate brokers

Nope.

I do not.

I don't like to drive. On the plus side for you it would allow you to see your area.

No but I bet after you investigate it you will findit's not such a great deal.

No.

No

No time for that.

Funny you should mention this as I am now receiving unsolicited emails from both of them for employment opportunities.  

NOPE!

Nope

No, but I use them as needed. All the drivers say they like it for good or extra cash. Lyft seems to be preferred by both drivers and riders.
