Leasing Agent Commission

[Chris Puglisi]

Good Evening Bigger Pockets, 

I have been looking to get out of the fitness industry and into the real estate industry for about a year now.  The question I have is what is the average commission paid to a leasing agent.  The complex I would be working for is 240 units and rents are anywhere from 1800-3600 a month.  I have searched in online but get such a wide rage of numbers.  

Seeing how I am not to familiar with the industry I want to make sure the offer is fair and not under what the industry average is. 

Wasnt sure what forum to put it in but hope this forum is alright.

Thank you

Chris

Working as a leasing consultant at a large apartment complex you usually get an hourly of $10-14 and bonuses between $50-$150 depending on the rentals. When I was a full time leasing agent I made about $40,000 a year. There is also a lot of room to move up in the property management industry.
