Top real estate agents earn 66% more than average employees, reveals survey

Incomes are still high despite sales downturn.

Despite weak sales and muted market sentiment, top property agents at Singapore’s largest real estate agency still earned considerably more than full-time employees, according to latest statistics released by ERA Realty Network.

The agency revealed that the monthly commission earned by their top 300 real estate agents hit $11,686.49 in 2015, 66% higher compared to the median gross monthly income of regular employees, which stood at $3,949 last year.

These 300 agents aged from 23 to 65 years old, with 4 of them aged above 60 years old, earning more than $133,876 annually despite being at their retirement age.
ERA’s top achiever Kavin Kuah has earned median monthly gross commission of $119,873.27 at the young age of 28.

“Real estate is a good career path if you are someone who looks forward to no-ceiling income. There are always opportunities around, it’s all about commitment, passion and perseverance,” Kuah says.

Don't let these figures fool you, they are gross figures, take the $11,686.49 pm commission, take away 40% advertising and marketing, left with $7k, less weekend pay, CPF, transport costs, medical coverage, most is left about $5k take home, for all the work, instability and odd hours, better hold 9 to 5, 5 day week job with all leave, medical benefits and CPF and take $3.9k every month relax and get pay check.

The property agent who handled the paperwork for my property investment made a tidy sum of money out of me. I am so pissed that I would like to punch her in the face. Without the commissions I paid her, she would be earning a minimum wage.

You all should grow some balls and go sell property or insurance, instead of taking the safe road to poverty by finding a low-paying job like security guard, admin clerk or taxi driver.

It was a shophouse property that I rented out to make some extra money. The agent made a nice pile signing some papers. Even though I made more money, I was still furious that a property agent can make so much and I wanted to punch her in the face.

and your comments on those who look after toilets?

Bunch of losers who had no balls and spent most of their time whining and complaining. If they channelled all that negative energy into self improvement, they wouldn't be looking after toilets.
