My bulk source of income is the sales and property management career where I make way too much money, 3-6% selling homes for others and managing rentals for them for a 10% monthly fee. The personal real estate portfolio helps but is mainly for retirement or when a bus hits me and I cant work anymore.
Was specifically interested in your sales history. What state, how many agencies did you work for, do you still work for the same agency you made your first sale with?

How hard was it to break into sales? It sounds like you are a free agent now that works sale to sale, without any partnership or contract with the agency at all. A subcontractor or whatever it would be called I can't think of the word. Freelance sales agent fits best I guess.

Is that accurate? And is that how you started in sales? Around here, the big agencies seem to dominate a lot of the work, but with the rise of the internet I am guessing freelance sales is big business?

California working for the same agency I started with 12 years ago. I split my commissions 80/20 until I reach a fiscal year goal then it goes to 90/10.

It is not easy to get started and can be discouraging. Takes a lot of persistence and being able to be told "no" a lot without losing motivation. Its all about branding yourself. Agencies are less important today than ever. Its more about YOUR Yelp, Facebook and Zillow reviews, not your Broker's. I feel like a good salesman is a good salesman, it doesn't really matter what you're selling so long as you're motivated and believe in the product. So if you're going to sell anything...why not real estate which pays great and gives you the potential to have a very flexible work schedule?

I think that right there is what seperates good salesmen from ones who can't find any success. Putting in a strong effort, and the repeated letdowns and then putting in the same effort again and again. I'm sure a lot of guys wash out quickly and take refuge in a fixed salary office job.

I'll probably end up finding out for myself, so I appreciate the info. Graduate school isn't making much sense right now and a flex schedule that gives back what you put into it is definitely up my alley. I'm just looking to make above average money at this point.

I might vote if the poll results weren't public and you had options for 5k a year. But mainly if the poll wasn't public. I am kind of nervous to give any real information with this community of shining examples of mental stability. This is like a social experiment of what happens when you let the patients take over the asylum.
