Employment opportunities for real estate brokers and sales agents are expected grow about as fast as the average for all occupations over the next few years, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Median annual earnings of salaried real estate sales agents, including commissions, were $35,670 in May 2004. Median annual earnings of salaried real estate brokers, including commission, were $58,720. Commissions are the main source of income for agents and brokers and percentages are based on the type of property, value of the property and the particular parameters agreed upon by the agent and broker. Salaries for others involved in the real estate industry vary greatly depending on the particular type of involvement.
