Real estate is the only profession I know that people feel entitled to your commission. Yes we make a percentage, no we don’t keep it all. Y’all know we pay our brokerage, taxes, marketing, MLS boards, home warranties, sometimes we even pay for extra funds that clients need for closing. I’ve never asked my hairdresser, photographer, painter or any other profession for money that they’ve worked hard to make! Not only that, this money helps feed my child, goes back into my business, taxes etc. wondering when my next sell will be, going weeks and months without pay. Working 24/7. Missing out on family time, events because when a client wants to view a home I make it happen, no matter the day and time. but no one sees that! But thank God I am blessed with a business that keeps growing and makes people feel entitled to the money I earned!!
