I discuss how much money real estate agents make here. The average income for a real estate agent is $47,700 a year, which does not seem like much, but that figure includes part-time and full-time agents. Full-time agents make $54,000 a year and agents that work over 60 hours a week make over $87,000 a year. The average income for first year agents may only be $15,000 a year, but some agents make much more. I think if an agent has a plan, sets goals, and works hard he or she can easily make $30,000 in their first year.
