How many % are you planning to pay for the real estate agents.You can compromise and offer them the % you have in your mind. If they don't agree then look for another one.
Right now the income is at poverty level.It is really tough right now to make large sums of money.A lot of agents are lucky to sell one house this year.Their are exceptions where they make a hundred grand though.
A good real estate agent is on call 24/7. It's not an easy job. Agents get paid a percentage off of the sales they make. These percentages can vary from transaction to transaction. Also, if you are affiliated with a firm, you have to pay desk fees, you have to put money out to advertise your listings, you have to do a lot of networking to GET listings, and they may not even get paid for a month, maybe 2..maybe longer? It's a commission based job. You do not earn an hourly wage PLUS commission. You have to be motivated, and not one who has a weak stomach for lean times. Right now, it's lean for real estate agents. It's like any profession that is commission based: Some make a ton, and some barely eke by.
