LMFAO, but on the flipside most realtors work 30 to 50 hours a week and only make $25-$35,000 per year, so basically a little over minimum wage, until they've been at it for many years. It seems like such a ludicrous amount of money to pay, until you realize that for every 3% commission they make on a $500,000 house, they take 10 different clients to see a combined 50+ houses over a 3-4 week period, and then never hear from them again.

We have a neighbor that is, at least appears to be, filthy rich (i'm not talking expensive car and golf cart purchased with a credit card, I'm talking probably $100,000 of shit thrown away every year that people come by to take from their trash pile, quarter million dollar remodel, brand new fancy cars every year, tears out the entire landscape and starts from scratch, continuous behavior over the years, something that you couldn't maintain with credit cards or refinancing, etc.) from selling real estate, but he's been at it for like his whole life and has built up a brand of success.
