It’s funny how most on here call Realtors idiots but most successful Realtors make at least 5x more than your average Engineer, Geologist, or IT tech.

I haven’t researched, but a quick Google search shows there are plenty of Realtors in the UK

How much does the average Engineer, Geologist, or IT tech make per year?


I also find it interesting that it has become Brad's responsibility to defend the entire real estate industry from the Beyond jackals. I don't think I'd have the patience to do this.

Porno red Trackhawk interiors........ that's another story.

I mean that's pretty good and I wouldn't be surprised at all as the top realtors do a ton of volume.

Now if you said 5X the Beyond Dentists, kk that's some real haha

I find it entertaining.

Honestly I have been out of the O&G industry for so long now I don’t even know.

$250k/year plus bonuses?

Sound about right?

[msommers]

The number of realtors in this town making 'just' ( ) $200k+/yr is likely <5% of all realtors in town. Nevermind the 500K+ that Brad is alluding to.

I am jealous of those realtor vehicle discounts though.

[suntan]

Median is $46K in Canada, according to wowa.ca. Seems totally legit.

Brad suggested that good realtors make 5x the average compensation of an engineer, geologist or IT tech. Assuming the average also makes a bonus on top of their $250k suggested comp ($3-350k with bonus). That would suggest Brad and other realtors are making $1.5 - $1.75 million per year.

Nice work Brad!

And also nice work engineers, goes and IT guys!

Impressive!

Please tell me your OBJECTIVE criteria for interviewing someone you hire as a realtor.

Seriously, I mean you are a rockstar, give me a list, I'd love to know how to evaluate a potential realtor.

- passed grade 9
- can speak and write in (broken) English
- has a phone
- has a car
- has a computer and printer

I think we all understand what realtors do…it is all low-skilled mundane tasks that are easily replaceable. The only real differentiating skill is communication…as in they will actually communicate with you and respond quickly…which again, not a super high bar.

Agree with everyone in this thread (except geo-realtor) that realtors will be arb’d down or out of the process in the near future. Boomers are still technologically illiterate for the most part and need people to hold their hands for basic shit so that generation will always need realtors. Millennials and younger are all capable of using technology to replace the majority of what realtors claim to do.

95% of my clients are Millennials.

Bonuses were good this year.

Double Trackhawks er I mean double meat sandwiches.

Boomers and Millenials, two useless generations but for entirely different reasons.

[suntan]

The oldest Boomers are now very old.

The oldest millennials are in their 40s, so they're at the age where service matters.

I would have thought that had more to do with (lack of) deal flow and less (if anything) to do with technological disruption...

Less focus on technological disruption per se, more focus on democratization of information.

Basically, what unique experience/information/abilities/exposure are you paying for?

I love the gaslighting in this thread lol. Average geo/engg/IT salaries 250k + bonus, realtors in the $1M+ range. My lord

Some poor chaps from eastern Canada are going to come across this thread from google searches and start telling everyone about crazy salaries in Calgary haha

Don’t forget the affordable real estate

I'm not agreeing with how much money realtors make or the amount of education/training required to get your license, but I will say that when Jordan sold our place in May 2022 he nailed it. He used his network and reached out to a realtor selling a place a few doors down from us. Spoke to her and was able to get some information on why her listing hasn't sold - which helped set our list price. Their place was on the market for 3 weeks and still not sold when we went to market. We listed it at their original starting price...I was nervous going in so high, but he sold our place for the full amount, in a few days. This was more than we expected it to sell for when we started this process but his feedback on what needed to be fixed, changed, etc. was key to selling quickly. That's the kind of experience and knowledge that a good realtor brings to the table (in my opinion) for the selling side.

However, on the buying side, we purchased a spec home and didn't use Jordan (it was a take or leave it price with the builder). That's where it doesn't make a lot of sense and the industry could change but won't.

Beyond should definitely setup its own housing forum for all the Beyonders who want freedom from the idiot no good Realtors who won’t show their homes and charge crazy commissions.

Freedom, Beyond!
