How much money dose a real estate agent make a year?

Zero to millions....

A bit of a silly answer I know but that really is the truth. Most agents in the US are part time and only make enough to pay their yearly agent fees. The normal gross commisions for a full time experienced agent are about $43,000 to $60,000 nationwide. Take from that your expenses, brokers share and taxes and you will probably get half that in your pocket. The top 10% of agents in the US make about $100,000 but a well established super agent in a high end market can make into the millions.

Being a successful real estate agent takes time, enthusuasm, knowledge and cash.

Stats show that 20% of all agent do 80% of all the transactions. The average gross for that 20% is $83,000 based on the figures from Realtor.com

It a great profession to get into especially if you are very organized, have had experience dealing with the public and want a flexible but heavy work schedule. You will need to provide your own benefits including health ins. and such.

The state lic. exams are easy enough, it the training afterwards that counts towards you being successful.

Hope this helps. From a licensed broker.
