Do real estate agents get paid on only commission or is there a salary as well?
Asked by Julia M
I am looking into changing careers and do have an interest in real estate. Does anyone do this for a living or know if real estate agents get paid a salary at all or if everything is solely based on commissions from selling a house.
Thank you!

Best Answer:
One with a real estate license can work for say a home builder on salary, and still make a few sales on the side or market homes the homebuilder takes in trade.

A:
Most of them are solely commission-based, or perhaps with a very small salary. The only way real estate companies get paid is if homes get sold, so a real estate agent's job is to sell homes.
