What are the characteristics of a successful real estate agent?

Are you a self-starter? Do you have impeccable organization, communication and follow-up skills? Do you have a genuine interest in servicing people? If so, you may have the characteristics it take to become a successful sales associate. If you are interested in becoming a Sales Associate, contact us for more details and the opportunity to speak with a manager in your local area.

How much can I make?

There’s no income ceiling in real estate. You’re free to build a career as rewarding and exciting as you want to make it. Like any worthwhile profession, it does take some effort. But instead of waiting for an uncertain raise once a year, you’re in control. To earn more, you learn more…master new skills…sharpen your time management…work smarter and more creatively.

More professionals reach the top of their field in real estate than in most other careers. Today, many top residential associates with Coldwell Banker earn more than $1 million a year in commissions. Some of our beginning associates have earned over $100,000 in their first year.
