I just really feel like its something I would love to do. I'm currently involved in the family business and I work 5 times a week from 1-9 and I close the business much of the time. What should I do to get things rolling on a positive note? Hey, I’m a young guy who is seriously considering getting into real estate despite warnings from several people.

Such a very informative post. It really highlights of what real estate agents typically earn (though it still depends on many houses they can sell and price of the house matters as well).

I also like your point about earning 1 mil in commisions does not mean you earned 1 million dollars. The industry really needs to get away from gross commissions in and switch to Net Income because that the real winner.

Most consumers could care less whether you broker gets part of the money as all they care about is how much money is leaving their pocket or at least in this case not entering it on the sale of a property. @Jay-I have seen similar posts in nature to this all over the web, but this is the first one that utilized numbers and focused on points that a consumer would actually care about.

Just in my office, there are agents that make a few thousand a year, to agents that make hundreds of thousands a year. It all depends on you, how hard you are willing to work, who you know, what good connections you have and your ability to take casual contacts into loyal customers.
