What are the normal working hours of a real estate agent?

Commercial real estate agents are usually normal business hours: Monday through Friday, 9 to 5pm. Residential real estate agents can work nights, weekends, whatever. I personally set my limits to 8am to 6pm weekdays and Saturdays, and I don't take calls or make appointments for Sunday at all unless it is absolutely crucial.

It's really easy to have this job take over your life, and at some point you have to set yourself boundries as to how much and how late you are willing to work. Some agents think nothing of taking calls from clients at 11pm at night, others will not. It's important to make sure you make enough time for yourself and family or you will get burnt out.
