The typical member of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) had 12 years of experience in 2024, up from 10 one year before, while 74% stated they were very certain they will continue in their profession for at least two more years, according to NAR’s 2025 Member Profile.
NAR’s report showed that the median gross income for realtors totaled $58,100 in 2024, up from $55,800 in 2023. The typical agent reported 10 transactions in 2024, unchanged from 2023, while the median sales volume per agent also remained steady at $2.5 million. One-quarter of
NAR members cited housing affordability as the biggest hurdle for potential homebuyers.
Furthermore, the report found 55% of members are affiliated with an independent company while 87% are independent contractors at their firms.
“The real estate market will always have a consistent flow of new entrepreneurs,” said Jessica Lautz, NAR deputy chief economist. “Despite the headwinds in the current market, the majority of agents who are realtors plan on staying in real estate as active professionals.”
