Every agent works with a broker and part of their commision is shared with that broker. How much? That depends on the agreement that's signed and agreed between the two. There is also licensing fees, broker fees, course upgrading fees, staging fees, advertising fees, lunches, and dinners expenses just to name a few. Their hours can be pretty shity. Evenings and weekends is the norm. Like all occupations, there's up and down times. Easy clients to work with and difficult ones. Bottom line, good agents work hard for their money.

The sign is put up, pictures taken and put on the MLS web site, maybe an open house and then your wait for the feeding frenzy (in Aurora anyways). <br /><br />I look at the flyers that I get in the mail from agents. They all seem to show the agent as living a pretty good (sometimes extravagant) lifestyle. They don't have to sell many houses in a year to make a 6 figure income.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
