$13K a year decent for 'part-time' work

Re: 'Agent defends 6% commission' (Sept. 9)

Dear Editor:

In attempting to justify 6 percent commissions, an agent whined that selling one house a month would result in earning only $13,000/year.

What is the complaint? One house a month is a PART-TIME job, a few hours a week. No one should make more for so little work. If he/she wants to earn more, get more listings, provide more service and income will increase, even at a lower commission percentage.
