How Much Does a Real Estate Consultant Earn?

Although often confused with the neighborhood real estate brokerage we’ve known for decades, Real Estate Consultancy is becoming a more professional, prestigious, and appealing profession.

The two main factors that make this profession attractive are that it offers flexible working opportunities and high earning potential.

Real estate consultancy is essentially your own business, and you can work or take a vacation whenever you want. You don’t have a boss. You set your own working conditions.

So, How Much Do Real Estate Consultants Earn?

Actually, there isn’t a clear answer to this question. Providing a specific amount and saying "a lot of money can be earned" would be misleading.

The most accurate answer would be: Real Estate Consultancy Offers the Opportunity to Earn as Much as You Work!

Still, it would be useful to share the industry averages. But first, let’s understand the income model:

Real estate consultants earn income from the service fees charged based on the prices or rents of properties such as houses, workplaces, or land that they mediate in selling or renting.

The industry operates on the principle of partnership, and the service fee is shared among the parties who contributed to the transaction. The high prices and profit-sharing ratios make this industry attractive in terms of earnings.

Average Earnings in the Industry

The first year is very important for consultants who are new to the industry. The foundation you build initially enables you to reach much higher income levels starting from the second year.

Disciplined real estate consultants earn an average monthly income of 80,000 - 90,000 TL in their first year. This is equivalent to a mid-level manager salary in the private sector.

Consultants who take this job seriously, view it as a career, set goals, and ensure continuity start significantly increasing their earnings from their second year onward. Currently, the average monthly income of consultants who have been working with RE/MAX for over a year is 150,000 TL.

Those we define as successful consultants earn an average monthly income of 350,000 – 400,000 TL.
