There are levels to this real estate sales career:

Tier 1: Rookie. Just trying to survive and get that first listing. You are still an apprentice and there is so much to learn.

Tier 2: Making $50 - 100k per annum. Inconsistent income. Learning on the job. Proactively searching for listing opportunities. Fighting hard for everything.

Tier 3: $100 - 200k. Starting to become an attraction agent. Securing listing opportunities with a mix of marketing approaches. Income can still be highly inconsistent. Can be hard to win listings against bigger teams.

Tier 4: $200 - 400k. You have a marketing machine in place which generates inbound seller leads. Your income is more steady and you may have a support team in place (personal assistant and/or buyers agent).

Tier 5: $400k - 2million+. You have built an attraction business. Sellers in your area see you as the local expert and seek you out. Your income limit is determined by your efficiency, database size, average commission value and size of team you want to build (eg. number of buyer's agents, personal assistants etc).
