Village sales people do not have the expenses an MLS Realtor has, I put a lot of money and time into my listings ( in 2000 it cost $25 just to put an ad in the paper, add all the other marketing and I spent over $50.000 a yr just on pictures, etc). Today is different because the internet takes away 50% or more of the time, and now it is about websites but there still, MLS agents do not get paid until they close a deal.

Working on commission is a very motivating factor. If you don’t work hard you won’t succeed.
