It seems like not many clients understand that realtors only get paid when they make a sale....

Hey is any Realtor Available for a quick 2 single family home posting for rent on Zillow. This is just for daily deal. DM me for price and details.

They definitely don't. They probably think we work for a base salary and commissions are just a bonus. I hope it were like this, but sadly it's not!

There was this client in my office who was blacklisted because of her antics. I don't know what she was up to, but she put her house for sale three different times, and whenever we were about to close a deal, she would back off. She wasted so much of our time and jeopardized our reputation.

My office actually started a model similar to waiting tables. We get a very low base pay (at least it's something) and then we can negotiate our commissions freely. But of course, if you're not actively pursuing sales, you don't get your base salary.

I got an offer to work as a commercial real estate agent at Avison Young. My background is in residential sales. I’m wondering how complex working in commercial sales is.
1- Am I responsible for generating leads and networking just like residential?
2- Are there growth opportunities in this field; like is there a corporate ladder in this path to look forward to?
I. would like some advice to consider from those in the industry. Big thanks!!
