Do real estate agents make a ton of money?
No. This is one of the biggest mis-perceptions about the real estate industry. The majority of real estate agents don’t make much money at all. Statistics show that in the year 2005, real estate agents in Wake county with two years experience or less, have averaged an annual income of $14,000. A third of all real estate agents exit the profession every year due to the lack of earning power. They are replaced by a fresh batch of new recruits that have been lured by the elusive promise of easy money.
