I know it obviously varies depending on how good they are, but what would their average commission be? Or average salary? The other thread about what cars they drive reminded me, as I've been wondering for a while.

Interesting, thanks everyone. So it seems in most cases the fancy cars are more indicative of douchbaggery rather than actual wealth.

I wish I could give kudos on my phone.... In bed and just read that and lol'd which woke my husband up.
How much they get paid, is way more than how much they earn
Real estate agents are not just residential sales agents. There are some of us who are commercial agents and some of them (like me) specialise in a field of two and we are paid well for our expertise.
Personally I would never sell residential for a living (preference in being a buyer).
A mate of mine is a REA.
Her base is 40k.
All the rest is commission.
I think last FY she paid close to 50k tax.
So, working backwards, is that 160-70k?
My mother was a very good agent, worked seven days a week, usually getting signatures after hours and sometimes up to midnight to close a deal. She was not pushy at all, highly respected.
If I ever was to sell houses, I'd try to sell mid to high end houses.

This is very true, commercial managers tend to be paid a lot higher than the residential agents.
I wouldn't say it's because they're better, but it's very different. Plus if you're managing larger scale buildings (such as Coles etc.) you're earning the company more money than your run of the mill resi agent.
