1. As a Real Estate Agent you work on 100% commission. Are you confident in your sales skills?
How to Answer
A successful Real Estate professional must be confident in their sales skills since most roles are 100% commission based. Assure the interviewer that you are capable of earning a great living based solely on your sales abilities.
1st Answer Example
"I have been successful in Real Estate for many years, working on a highly commissioned basis. Of course, my first few years were difficult, but I managed to press through those challenging years. I am a solid salesperson and well sought out because of my positive reputation in the industry. This success amounts to many referrals for me as well."
2nd Answer Example
"Yes, I am confident in my sales skills and my ability to earn a good living on a 100% commission basis. This position will not be my first commission driven role, which also adds to my confidence. In my last position, I was able to earn in the low six figures on the same pay structure."
