What its like to be a real estate agent

A real estate agents working environment can be fast paced,frantic,edgy, and very competitive.
Some real estate brokers and sales agents work in typical office environments, while others work out of their homes. In both cases real estate workers spend much of their time away from their desks, showing properties to customers, traveling to see properties for sale, and meeting with prospective clients. Workplace size for real estate brokers and sales agents can range from a one person business to a large company with with numerous branches. The employment of real estate agents and brokers is projected to grow 6 percent from 2016 to 2026,which is about as fast as the average for all occupations.Brokers and sales agents earn most of their income from commissions on sales. The commission varies by the type of property and its value. Commissions often are divided among the buying agent, selling agent, brokers, and firms.The median annual wage for real estate brokers was $56,730 in May 2017. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $24,160, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $151,660. Many real estate brokers and sales agents work more than 40 hours per week. They often work evenings and weekends to accommodate clients’ schedules. Many brokers and sales agents spend a significant amount of time networking and attending community events to meet potential clients. Although they frequently work irregular hours, many can set their own schedules, some brokers and sales agents work part time.
