One of the best things about the job is that you are technically an independent contractor rather than an employee so you have a lot of freedom. That also means, however, that you have absolutely no benefits. On top of that, you work 100% on commission so if you do well, it can be great because there is no limit, but everyone has the occasional bad month, and you could go home with nothing. If you are willing to put in the time though (especially in the summer when most people want to come in 6-7 days/wk) and you have basic people skills, most people can earn at least $60,000-$90,000 annually taking more than a month of vacation time during the off-season (fall/winter). A few agents earn more but they work very hard year round.
