Hi, I am about to receive my BA, have already obtained my R.E. license, and have several years of sales experience. I want to make the jump into a career in new home sales, but am not sure how to go about negotiating my compensation. I am planning on moving to the Bay Area to start my career, so I expect I will need to negotiate for a higher base salary. I have done a TON of research, but still don’t know exactly what I can demand. Most positions seem to include:
1. $30,000/yr. Is this base or is this a draw? Can I negotiate for higher in the Bay Area?
2. 2 weeks of vacation a year. Is this standard or negotiable?
3. A commission. I’ve seen 1-2%; anyone had experience that could tell me how much to expect? I’ve also seen flat fees for sales and want to stay away from that, so if anyone knows which companies pay flats, that would be helpful.
In general, does anyone have insider experience to help me with this?
Even though you say you have done a ton of research, your questions make it somehow appears that your research has been misdirected because it should have answered them.
