Do most Commercial Realtors make more than Realtors specializing in Residential properties?
Ryan B asked:
I’ve been a Realtor for about 4 years, selling only residential properties. I enjoy the investment side of real estate more and I really think I’d enjoy working in commercial real estate. On average, do Commercial Realtors make more than residential? I live in a decent size city with a lot of commercial property.

No. More residential properties than commercial makes more consistent opportunities in residential. Commercial may have a better commission. Do both.

There is one Realtor in my area that almost exclusively sells commercial RE, but he does some residential also. He says it requires more financial discipline, as the checks can be few and far between. But when he sells a property, it is a very nice commission check.
Look into getting your CCIM. Commercial brings a whole new set of criteria.
