real estate is mostly a commission only business. you also have to work your @ss off schlepping clients all over town, only to have them tell you 2 months in that they want to wait a while to buy a home. meanwhile, you get nothing. that is why when i was a loan officer, they told me that 60 percent of new real estate agents quit in the first year.

that is why some brokers are willing to give you more time to start selling…as they aren’t paying you anything anyways. others on the other hand…if you aren’t selling within two months, you are out the door.

Generally there is no salary for a real estate agent. Their income is based solely on commission. A good agent works a minimum of 40 hours a week, but usually many more than that when business is good. You need to be available whenever your clients want you.

I believe of the 1,925,000+ RE agents in the US, fewer than
500 have any salary at all.

[what is the incentive to the broker to pay a salary?]
