Real Estate Compensation in 2011
Changing Times in Work and Pay
An Inman News Research Report
| EXCLUSIVE ADVERTISER: |  |
This research report of real estate compensation reveals a dramatically different picture from 2006 in the way real estate sales professionals work and get paid.
The real estate industry continues to grapple with a glut of distressed properties and anemic economic growth and given the current economy, the impact for real estate sales people has created a new reality.
This latest Inman News Research Report of Real Estate Compensation reveals a dramatically different picture from the inaugural report in 2006 -- the pinnacle of record-breaking U.S. home prices and home-price appreciation. Now, agents face the frustration of closing deals in a difficult climate.
The housing market decline and economic downturn has brought down home prices in many markets, and there has been a steady exodus of agents from the field, with National Association of Realtors membership declining.
The report is chock-full of the latest findings and reflects trends in industry compensation and expenses since those halcyon days. This 69-page report was compiled from a comprehensive survey of Inman News readers and subscribers. Respondents represented 47 U.S. states and Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, New Zealand and Canada.
Among the survey findings and revelations:
- Industry commission income trends show a downward trend.
- Fewer sales per agent with 48.3 percent of respondents said they closed fewer than 11 transaction in 2010.
- The nationwide glut of distressed properties and anemic economic growth has affected commissions and compensation.
- The frustration some survey respondents shared about deals falling through in the tough economic environment with some expecting this decade to usher in a new era for real estate compensation.
- The effect of the post-recession era and how it reshaped the landscape of a real estate industry
- ...and more data and charts!
