Marketing Assistant for realtors freelance option?

I currently work for a broker with 15 realtors. I assist them with computer organization, troubelshooting, custom direct mail, ad layouts, mailing lists etc. My broker allows me to help them to a point but then they are on their own. I'm limited which has made me bored and can't get upgraded software for my work computer to even learn more. Lately some realtors have been asking if I can freelance for them and said I could make alot doing this on my own. Does anyone else out there do this kind of work rather than in-office? I'm curious how successful it can be.

1. Almost anything can be successful if you have a market for it and the fact that potential customers are actually ASKING you to provide this service - is an indicator that there is a market. Find out how many of these people would be willing to actually hire you, perhaps start out by doing work for them part-time on the side. Ask them to tell their friends (Realtors are well connected and word of mouth is free advertising with built-in credibility), if you see your business taking off - then thats the answer! And, yes, by the way - Realtors in Houston often use people to help them with photographing home, making flyers and mailings, etc. As you know, image is everything in that business.
