You want to break it down to hourly pay. It doesn’t work that way. What hourly rate for never having a weekend or vacation off? How about the pay for answering the phone at 6 am for a seller asking some question that had no urgency, or at 10 pm. How about the years of experience you are paying for. Or the marketing the realtor spent money on? Or the pictures she laid out $800-1000 up front out of pocket. How much is it worth for you to never have an uninterrupted meal? To leave date night with your spouse because you have to take this call. To split that “hourly pay” with the brokerage and maybe the referral realtor? I’m not a realtor but my wife is. You folks think it’s such an easy money maker job then go for it. Most people fail in real estate.
