Don, get real here....I can't speak for all the real estate agents out there in America. I don't know how they are paid, what the compensation system is in their companies......everything varies. I am curious, however, as to why you are interested in knowing what "impresses the top brass". Not many independent contractors out there that I know of are the least bit interested in impressing the top brass. It's the customers and clients they're concerned about and who will, in the end, be their meal tickets.

addendum to earlier post...Don, what you don't seem to be recognizing is that the sale of a million-dollar home requires a different and more expensive type of marketing than the sale of small homes, such as condos. For pete's sake.........my former broker publishes a glossy quarterly photo magazine of high-priced homes. It costs the agent a lot of money to get a home in that magazine, and the home might already have sold by the time the publication comes out. Many other complications involved in the sale of those homes, too. Here's a scenario for you.....two condo deals fall out of bed and never get finalized...one million-dollar home gets sold. Which agent worked harder?
