Are real estate agents rich?

The idea that all real estate agents are “rich” is a common myth, especially in a market like Lane County. While top-performing agents at brokerages like Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Equinox can achieve significant income, the vast majority earn a comfortable living that is directly tied to their sales volume. Real estate income is commission-based, meaning there’s no guaranteed salary. Agents bear their own business expenses, including marketing, technology, and continuing education. Success in Lane County real estate requires relentless effort, deep local market knowledge, and exceptional client service – qualities our agents embody to build successful, sustainable careers.
