2. Experience<\/h3>\n

Experience is a key factor for people who pursue this career because one must have a comprehensive perspective of the real estate market in order to efficiently deliver the best services for their clients.\u00a0According to PayScale statistics, in the US real estate brokers with 0-5 years<\/strong> of experience make around $49,500<\/strong> per year. Furthermore, more experienced brokers with 5 to 15 years<\/strong> in this field can earn an annual salary of $65,000<\/strong>.\u00a0Last but not least, real estate brokers with over 20 years<\/strong> of experience have annual incomes of around $73,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In Canada entry-level real estate brokers win around\u00a0C$56,000<\/strong>, while more experienced professionals make about C$75,000<\/strong> per year, only to rise in the late 20 years of career\u00a0up until C$100,000<\/strong> and more after that. In the UK there is also a descending rise in salary from\u00a0\u20a418,000<\/strong> for beginners to\u00a0\u20a423,000<\/strong>\u00a0for mid-career professionals, with not such a big rise after 10-20 years in the field \u2013 \u20a426,000, while a late career of more than 20 years on the job can get this professional\u00a0\u20a436,000<\/strong> and rising. The situation is different in Australia, where the salary starts at\u00a0AU$47,000<\/strong>, then rises at\u00a0AU$64,000<\/strong> per year in mid-career, remains the same after 10-20 years, then slowly starts to descend until it reaches\u00a0AU$50,000<\/strong> after 20 years on the job.<\/p>\n

3. Industry<\/h3>\n

Some brokers work for\u00a0financial institutions and real estate agencies such as SRS Real Estate Partners, HCM Force, and RKF. In this case, the real estate broker annual salary depends on the size of the financial institution for which they work.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • SRS Real Estate Partners<\/strong> offers a median pay of around $69,457<\/strong> per year.<\/li>\n
  • HCM Force<\/strong> coming with the highest salaries, between $55,000<\/strong> and $110,000<\/strong> per year, according to Indeed.<\/li>\n
  • RFK\u00a0<\/strong>being next, having some minimal salaries of $39,000<\/strong>, but going up to $186,000<\/strong> per year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Schedule & Working Hours<\/h2>\n

    Real estate brokers generally work more than 40 hours per week<\/strong>, they work\u00a0irregular hours<\/strong> because they have to meet with their clients in evenings or weekends<\/strong>, in various locations. Many brokers spend a lot of time networking and attending community events in order to meet potential clients. On the other hand, self-employed real estate brokers have a more flexible schedule<\/strong>. While some can work part time<\/strong> and also have another job in the meantime.<\/p>\n

    Bonuses & Benefits<\/h2>\n

    A consistent part of real estate brokers are self-employed<\/strong>, so they work mainly on commission<\/strong> which can be as high as $115,000<\/strong> per year.\u00a0Besides the annual salary, real estate brokers from the US can also get annual bonuses<\/strong> up to $53,829\u00a0<\/strong>and profit sharing<\/strong> up to $5,000<\/strong> per year from their employer.<\/p>\n

    Career Outlook<\/h2>\n

    According to BLS statistics, the employment rate of real estate brokers will grow 2 percent from 2014 to 2024, slower than the average for all occupations. This is because the real estate marketing can never be constant, meaning that the employment of real estate brokers will always vary.<\/p>\n

    As the population grows, many people will want to own their own\u00a0homes, making real estate a long-term investment, continuing to need new brokers and agents.<\/p>\n

    If interested in another job that implies the sale of services, and where there is a close relationship with the client as well, you can read more about the insurance agent salary.<\/p>\n

    Conclusion<\/h2>\n

    Given the above, the real estate broker salary is quite motivating for people who prefer working on commission, bonuses, and profit sharing. Even if the future employment rate is not high, the real estate market will always need dedicated professionals to deliver the best services. People will always need to\u00a0purchase homes, so the real estate broker job is sure to be around a long time from now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
