Hello everyone, I am currently a real estate agent in California and my fiancé and I are looking at a possible move to Washington State, in particular the Seattle area. Was just wondering if real estate agents are paid hourly or if they are paid by comission(or both?).. The research I've been doing seems like they're mostly paid hourly but could use input from some agents in the area or the state in general. Any info would help greatly and will be appreciated!

Thanks!

I don't know any who are paid hourly up here.  Most are commission.

Hi Brad,

From what I've seen...everyone is paid on commission. I didn't even realize that you could get paid hourly as an agent. Do you know which area you'll possibly be moving to? I have a personal connection to a great brokerage here if you're interested. :)

Thanks! No idea why everywhere I look shows hourly rates. Do you guys have an opinion on how good of a market it'd be to get into?
