It really varies. The average is around $100,000 a year, but the median is closer to $58,000 so most agents earn somewhere in that range.
In cities like Toronto or Vancouver, incomes are higher because home prices and commissions are bigger.
Top agents can earn well above that, but they also have higher overhead:
Brokerage fees, marketing costs, admin salaries, office rents it adds up fast.
That’s why what an agent makes doesn’t always reflect what they take home.
So why does this matter to you?
Because agents who invest back into their business in marketing, systems, and support deliver a stronger experience.
You’re not just hiring one person. You’re getting a full operation:
Marketing strategy
Admin support
Professional execution from start to finish
Bottom line?
It’s not just about what your agent earns, it’s about what they deliver.
Who you work with matters
