The GLVAR posted an article to those considering becoming an agent. They claim there is a considerable sacrifice in time and for most the pay is not significant.
"...According to the Department of Labor, the median income for a real estate agent is about $39,760 per year, as of May 2006. The middle 50 percent earn between $26,790 and $65,270 annually, and the top 10 percent earn around $111,500 per year...Of course, superstar agents can earn several times that top number."Many agents have left the industry in the recent downturn. Many have second jobs just to get by. A successful Las Vegas Realtor® usually has some sort of team and makes themselves well known through out the valley. If you plan to be a top agent it would be wise to interview another top agent to see what they do. If an agent can't see how they maybe in the top 10% based on some past experience they should consider the sacrifices made to earn what many make standard at another job.
