Home is where the hearth is.

I set a goal for myself.  Not realizing, at the time, that it was a lofty goal.  I decided I would have 12 transactions... 1 per month.

I actually achieved that goal... 11 sales, and 1 rental (I count that as a 'transaction'... right?)

  15 or 16.  Most of them were starter homes or low-end priced homes.  The experienced agents dumped buyers and sellers they didn't want on me, the new agent in the office.  I worked with what I had!

That is a question that is hard to answer in that the only person I represented was my husband.  Right from the start with my real estate career, I was involved with administration and became the managing Broker of our brokerage 3 years after getting licensed. I do not do active sales.

80% of first year agents here do not close a deal. 50% of them dropped out after 1+ year. High attrition rate. I have seen those have closed 10X more than experienced 1st year and hit 7 figures income quickly. Our avg number of transactions on experienced agent is a mere 2-4 transactions due to high number of agents and potentially very high comepensation. My first year I got closings from SOI not from door knocking.

 

It is really what you want to do with a license.

Can't remember for sure, but I think it was around 1.2 million in sales.  We both got licensed in April of 2009 as part-time agents so it wasn't a full year.  We did earn the Rookie of the Year Award from our office though!

Not many, it took me 7 months to close my first escrow and closed about 4 deals that first year.  I listed about 5 homes from expireds and none of them sold.  I sure learned quite a bit and have fed my family from the hard work and dedication that first year.
