7 National Association of REALTORS Introduction In 2016, there was a continued rise in new members of the National Association of REALTORS, increasing from 1.16 million in March 2016 to 1.22 million in March This is apparent in the data: with those who have less than two years of experience was 28 percent, an increase from 17 percent The median years of experience in real estate was 10 years. Additionally, tenure at firm was a median of four years. The median age of REALTORS remained at 53 in the 2017 survey, the same as last year and the lowest it has been since 2008 when the median age was 52. The median age held steady between 56 and 57 from 2011 to The drop in age may be attributed both to members retiring and to new younger entrants to the business. This year, only 30 percent are over 60 years old and four percent are less than 30, consistent with last year. Twelve percent of members who have two years or less experience are under 30 years of age. Limited inventory continues to plague many housing markets in the United States. For the fourth year in a row, the difficulty of finding the right property has surpassed the difficulty in obtaining mortgage financing as the most cited reason limiting potential clients. Impacted by limited inventory, the typical number of transactions rose slightly from 11 transactions in 2015 to 12 transactions in With rising home prices again in 2016, the median brokerage sales volume rose to $1.9 million from $1.8 million in The median gross income of REALTORS was $42,500 in 2016, an increase from $39,200 in New members entering the field have differences in income by experience, function, and hours worked per week. Fifty-six percent of members who have two years or less experience made less than $10,000 in 2016 compared to 38 percent of members with more than 16 years of experience who made more than $100,000 in the same time period. REALTORS with 16 years or more experience had a median gross income of $78,850 up from $73,400 in 2015 compared to REALTORS with two years or less experience that had a median gross income of $8,930 an increase from $8,500. The typical member is an independent contractor affiliated with an independent company catering to local markets. REALTORS frequently have had careers in other fields prior to real estate, the most common being in management, business, and financial professions, followed by sales and retail. Only four percent indicated that real estate is their first career. The majority of members are female homeowners with a college education. Looking ahead, 82 percent of REALTORS are very certain they will remain in the market for two more years. Jessica Lautz Meredith Dunn Brandi Snowden Amanda Riggs Brian Horowitz May

23 CHAPTER 2: Business Activity of REALTORS REALTORS in 2016 reported similar market conditions to last year. The typical member had a slightly higher sales volume in 2016, with one additional transaction compared to Residential specialists continue to cite a difficulty in finding the right property as limiting potential clients from completing a transaction. In addition housing affordability is limiting clients. Median weekly hours worked by the typical REALTOR were unchanged from the previous seven years at 40 hours a week. Websites were not a major source of business, although REALTORS who invested more heavily in their website did report a greater number of inquiries and business. National Association of REALTORS MEMBER PROFILE

24 2017 MEMBER PROFILE Chapter 2: Business Activity of REALTORS Appraisal Specialists Exhibits 2 1 through 2 3 Ninety-one percent of appraisal specialists appraised residential properties with one to four units, 27 percent appraised commercial (retail, office, shopping centers, etc.), and 25 percent appraised residential (five or more units). The typical specialist appraised 195 properties in 2016 a slight decrease from 200 in Twenty-six percent of appraisal specialists have a secondary specialty in commercial appraisal. Commercial specialists typically had transaction volumes of $3.3 million, while residential specialists had transaction volumes of $1.8 million. For the fourth year in a row, the difficulty finding the right property has surpassed the difficulty in obtaining mortgage financing as the most cited reason for potential clients being limited. This finding speaks to the tightened inventory conditions seen in many areas of the country. Housing affordability was the second reason brokerage specialists cited potential clients are limited at 16 percent. Brokerage Specialists Exhibits 2 4 through 2 16 Thirty-seven percent of REALTORS practice single agency brokerage. Thirty-three percent practice buyer and seller agency with disclosed dual agency, down from 38 in the 2016 survey, 11 percent practice buyer agency exclusively, and 10 percent practice transactional agency. In 2016, the typical agent had 12 transactions, which is up from 11 transactions in Twenty-eight percent of all members reported having at least one commercial transaction side. Members who are residential specialists typically had 12 transaction sides, and commercial specialists typically had 12 transaction sides this year. Those who were commercial specialists reported that four of their transaction sides were in residential and eight of their transaction sides were in commercial. REALTORS with two years of experience or less had a median of four transactions, compared to brokerage specialists with 16 years of experience or more who had a median of 15 transactions. Twenty-eight percent of members had a transaction involving a foreclosure (down from 35 percent last year) and 18 percent had a transaction involving a short sale (down from 24 percent). Those with more real estate experience were more likely to have a foreclosure or short sale transaction. Property Management Exhibits 2 17 through 2 19 There was a slight increase in the number of properties that properties managers managed, from 40 properties in 2016 to 42 properties this year. Residential specialists managed a median of 50 properties (up from 40 properties last year), compared with commercial specialists who managed a median of 20 properties (down from 41 last year). The three most commonly reported tasks of property managers are selecting tenants, collecting rent, and taking tenant applications. Eighty-nine percent of property management specialists managed single-family residential homes, 62 percent managed multi-family properties, and 22 percent were active in office property management. Hours Worked Per Week Exhibit 2 20 The typical REALTOR worked 40 hours per week in 2017, a trend that has continued for several years. s who sell and appraisers reported working the most hours, at 50 per week. All other members reported working between 40 and 45 hours per week, and sales agents worked 35 hours. The median sales volume for brokerage specialists increased to $1.9 million in 2016 from $1.8 million in Twentyseven percent had brokerage sales volumes under $500,000 while 18 percent had transaction volumes above $5 million. 22

25 National Association of REALTORS Repeat Business and Referrals Exhibits 2 21 through 2 24 The typical REALTOR earned 13 percent of their business from past clients and customers a share that decreased from 20 percent in 2014 as there was a rise in the share of new members who recently entered the real estate business. As expected, experienced REALTORS reported a greater share of repeat business from clients or referrals. Repeat business was more common among REALTORS with more experience (a median of 36 percent for those with 16 or more years of experience, compared to no repeat business for those with two years of experience or less). Referrals were also more common among REALTORS with more experience (a median of 25 percent for those with 16 or more years of experience, compared to no referrals for those with two years of experience or less). Open Houses Exhibits 2 25 and 2 26 While open houses are a useful tool for home buyers to compare and contrast home features and neighborhoods, only 37 percent of surveyed residential brokerage specialists said they received some business from an open house. Sixtythree percent of agents reported no business as a result of open houses. Experience does not play a role in whether the member had business from an open house. Language and Nationality Exhibits 2 27 and 2 28 Thirty-three percent of REALTORS had clients who were foreign nationals, and 57 percent of REALTORS had clients whose primary language was not English. Among members who are fluent in a language other than English, 81 percent had clients who primary language was not English. Website Business Activity Exhibits 2 29 through 2 33 The typical REALTOR spent $70 to maintain a website in 2016, down from $80 in the previous year. The typical member brought in one inquiry and one percent of their business from their website. Brokers tend to spend more on their websites, while managers who do not sell and sales agents tend to spend the least amount on websites. Those who spent the most on websites did receive the highest number of inquiries, or the largest percent of their overall business driven by website traffic. For the fourth year in a row, the difficulty finding the right property has surpassed the difficulty in obtaining mortgage financing as the most cited reason for potential clients being limited. 23

41 CHAPTER 3: Income and Expenses of REALTORS The median gross income of REALTORS income earned from real estate activities was $42,500 in 2016, an increase from $39,200 in Those are licensed as sales agents typically reported a median income of $31,670, an increase from $27,260 reported in Income is typically commensurate with experience. As REALTORS gain experience and a larger network of referrals and previous clients, their income generally will rise. Median business expenses were $6,000 in 2016, a decrease from $6,300 in In 2016, 35 percent of REALTORS were compensated under a fixed commission split (under 100%), 26 percent with a graduated commission split (increases with productivity), and 14 percent with a capped commission split (rises to 100% after a predetermined threshold). Comparing REALTORS experience in real estate, number of hours worked, function performed with the firm, and license type, these factors reveal some interesting characteristics among income groups. For instance, REALTORS in higher income groups report they are more likely to remain active as a real estate professional during the next two years: 94 percent of those in the $150,000 or more income bracket said they were very certain to remain active in the business compared to 74 percent in the less than $10,000 income group. National Association of REALTORS MEMBER PROFILE

42 2017 MEMBER PROFILE Chapter 3: Income and Expenses of REALTORS Compensation Structure Exhibits 3 1 through 3 3 In 2016, 35 percent of REALTORS were compensated under a fixed commission split (under 100%), 26 percent with a graduated commission split (increases with productivity), and 14 percent with a capped commission split (rises to 100% after a predetermined threshold). Sales agents were more likely to have a fixed commission split (38 percent) and a graduated commission split (29 percent) than brokers, who were more likely to have a 100% commission (16 percent). Those with less experience more often had a graduated commission split, as well as those who had lower personal earnings. Business Expenses Exhibits 3 4 through 3 13 Median business expenses were $6,000 in 2016, a decrease from $6,300 in Brokers who sell typically had higher business expenses at $16,250 compared to $4,000 for managers who do not sell. A connection can be seen between REALTOR income and expenses. REALTORS with gross personal incomes of less than $10,000 a year reported a median business expense level of $1,640, compared to those REALTORS who made $150,000 or more with median business expenses of $35,220 in 2016, down from $39,090 in REALTOR Income Exhibits 3 14 through 3 17 The median gross income of REALTORS income earned from real estate activities was $42,500 in 2016, an increase from $39,200 in Those who function as sales agents typically reported a median income of $33,750, an increase from $29,560 reported in Broker owners, managers, and appraisers had higher gross and net incomes than other groups. Income is typically commensurate with experience. As REALTORS gain experience and a larger network of referrals and previous clients, their income generally will rise. REALTORS with 16 years or more experience had a median gross income of $78,850 up from $73,400 in 2015 compared to REALTORS with two years or less experience that had a median gross income of $8,930 an increase from $8,500 in The number of hours worked per week is also strongly connected to income. REALTORS who typically worked less than 20 hours a week had a median gross income of $8,930 a year, and those who worked 60 or more hours per week had a median gross income of $100,000. Sign-On Bonus Exhibit 3 18 Thirty-five percent of members received a sign-on bonus, 26 percent received a sign-on bonus after first transaction, and 14 percent did not receive a sign-on bonus. Business expenses decreased across the board, including administrative, affinity and referral, marketing, professional development, business promotion, technology, and business use of vehicle costs in 2016 from

43 National Association of REALTORS Characteristics of REALTORS by Income Exhibit 3 19 Comparing REALTORS experience in real estate, number of hours worked, function performed with the firm, and license type, these factors reveal some interesting characteristics among income groups. For instance, REALTORS in higher income groups report they are more likely to remain active as a real estate professional during the next two years: 94 percent of those in the $150,000 or more income bracket said they were very certain to remain active in the business compared to 74 percent in the less than $10,000 income group. Because the real estate business is largely based on commissions, higher income levels also often mean a higher number of real estate transactions. As REALTORS years of experience increase, they build a client base through referrals of past clients and repeat businesses. REALTORS making $150,000 or more had a median of 27 percent of repeat business from past clients and 29 percent of business through referrals from past clients, compared to those making less than $10,000, with no repeat business from past clients and no business through referrals. REALTORS level of education also factors into reported income. Forty-seven percent in the lowest income group have a bachelor s degree or higher, and 56 percent have bachelor s degrees or higher in the $150,000 or more income group. Of those in the highest income group, 94 percent said that real estate was their only occupation, compared with 49 percent in the lowest income group. Median tenure in firm also increases in the higher income group, with seven years compared to three years in the lowest income group another reflection of experience. The homeownership level in the highest income group was 93 percent compared to 73 percent in the lowest income group. Income is typically commensurate with experience. As REALTORS gain experience and a larger network of referrals and previous clients, their income generally will rise. REALTORS with 16 years or more experience had a median gross income of $78,850 up from $73,400 in 2015 compared to REALTORS with two years or less experience that had a median gross income of $8,930 an increase from $8,500 in

56 CHAPTER 4: Office and Firm Affiliation of REALTORS REALTOR office and firm affiliation remained largely unchanged, within the shifting housing market. Most REALTORS are independent contractors typically affiliated with an independent company. Forty-three percent of members work at a one office firm and 25 percent work at a firm with two to four offices. The typical REALTOR had been with their current firm for four years. Mergers and consolidations continued to affect about one in 10 REALTORS. Because most members are independent contractors, firm benefits are not common. Among those receiving benefits from their firm, liability insurance was most commonly received. 54

57 National Association of REALTORS Firm Affiliation Exhibits 4 1 through 4 3 More REALTORS report that they work with an independent company than any other type of company at 51 percent (down from 55 percent last year). Those licensed as brokers and broker associates at 56 percent (down from 60 percent) are more often affiliated with an independent company than sales agents at 48 percent (down from 52 percent). By function in the firm, appraisers and broker-owners who sell most often reported an affiliation with an independent company. Among the primary specialties, those in appraisal at 87 percent (down from 91 percent last year), commercial property management at 74 percent (down from 100 percent), and residential property management at 80 percent (up from 76 percent) were most likely to be affiliated with an independent company. Nearly nine in 10 members are independent contractors at their firms. Brokers Ownership Interest Exhibit 4 6 Forty-nine percent of brokers had some ownership interest in their firm, and 33 percent reported having sole ownership of their firm. The share was even higher for brokers affiliated with independent companies, where 48 percent had sole ownership. Benefits Exhibit 4 7 Among all REALTORS, errors and omissions insurance was the most common benefit received from the firm at 40 percent. However, 44 percent of members also report paying for errors and omissions insurance out of pocket. Members also report receiving some benefits from a partner, spouse, or family member the most common benefit received this way was health insurance (32 percent), followed by dental insurance (30 percent), and vision care (27 percent). Office Size and Tenure at Firm Exhibits 4 4 and 4 5 Forty-three percent of REALTORS are affiliated with firms that have a single office, down from 51 percent in One-quarter of REALTORS work at a firm with two to four offices. Sales agents, associate brokers, and managers who sell, typically work in firms with two to four offices, while the median number of offices at firms broker-owners and appraisers work at is one office. s who do not sell typically work for firms with six offices. The median tenure for REALTORS with their current firm is four years in this year s survey. By function within the firm, sales agents have the least tenure at their current firm at three years while broker-owners who do not sell and appraisers tend to have the longest tenure, at 20 years and 16 years respectively. Mergers Exhibits 4 8 through 4 10 REALTOR experience with mergers was similar to what was reported in the last few years. Nine percent of REALTORS worked for a firm that was either bought or merged in the past two years. Most who changed firms after the merger did so voluntarily. Most REALTORS who worked for a firm that was bought or merged were not affected in their compensation. Real Estate Teams Exhibit 11 Seventy-eight percent of REALTORS work independently and 19 percent work as part of a team. The median number of team members for those that work in a group is three people. 55

62 CHAPTER 5: Demographic Characteristics of REALTORS The typical REALTOR is a 53-year-old white female who attended college and is a homeowner. While the median profile has not changed, REALTORS come from a variety of demographic groups and career backgrounds. Most often, their previous career was in management, business or finance (17 percent) or in the sales or retail sector (16 percent). REALTORS often reflect the many age, ethnic, language, education, and income characteristics represented in their local communities. The median gross income of REALTOR households has risen incrementally over the years. The median gross income of REALTOR households was $111,400 in 2016 an increase from $98,300 in Household income of members is a reflection of the number of hours worked per week and whether real estate is their primary source of income. Eighty-two percent of members own their primary residence, while some also owned vacation or commercial properties. 60

63 National Association of REALTORS Gender Exhibits 5 1 through 5 3 Similar to last year s survey, 63 percent of all REALTORS are female. However, among members who are over 60 years old, this percentage falls to 57 percent. Among broker licensees, 58 percent are female, compared with 67 percent of sales agent licensees. Among part-time sales agents, 70 percent are female, while 64 percent of full-time sales agents are female. Prior Full-Time Careers of REALTORS Exhibits 5 8 and 5 9 REALTORS enter the profession with a variety of employment experiences. Most often, their previous career was in management, business or finance (17 percent) or in the sales or retail sector (16 percent). Only four percent reported that real estate was their first career. Those with the most real estate experience, 16 years or more, are most likely to have real estate as their first career at nine percent. Age Exhibits 5 4 through 5 6 The median age of REALTORS remained at 53 in the 2017 survey, the same as last year and the lowest it has been since 2008 when the median age was 52. The median age held steady between 56 and 57 from 2011 to The drop in age may be attributed both to members retiring and to new, younger entrants to the business. This year, only 30 percent are over 60 years old and four percent are less than 30, consistent with last year. Twelve percent of members who have two years or less experience are under 30 years of age. Education Exhibit 5 7 Overall, the level of education among REALTORS exceeds that of the general public. Ninety-three percent of members have some post-secondary education, with 31 percent having completed a bachelor s degree as their highest level of educational attainment. Six percent of REALTORS had some graduate school education, with 13 percent having completed a graduate degree. Real Estate as Only Occupation Exhibit 5 10 Real estate is the only occupation for 74 percent of all REALTORS. REALTORS with more experience are most likely to indicate that real estate is their only current occupation. For REALTORS with 16 or more years of experience, 84 percent indicated real estate was their only occupation, compared with 60 percent of REALTORS with two years or less experience. Marital Status and Size of Household Exhibits 5 11 and 5 12 The marital status of REALTORS has remained relatively unchanged from last year. Seventy percent of REALTORS are married, while 16 percent are divorced, and 10 percent are single or never married, consistent with last year. The typical REALTOR household has two people.
