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.
First I was just curious - simply seeking an education
Second you just described many jobs in America some of which put their lives on the line
