I’m guessing it’s somewhere around 10 hours, but I might be wrong. The issue I’m dealing with is if a house sells for $1M (pretty low here in Marin County), and the commission for the agent is 3%, then it seems the agent is making $3,000 an hour.

We all know real estate agents are horrible for a number of reasons, but I’d like some more firm clarity on this on aspect of their evil. So if I’m incorrect about the number of hours an agent spends on selling a house, please let me know.

Call bullshit if you wish. You seem to have your mind made up about what you want to be true based on your load of assumptions that you also assume to be accurate and true because it is you that is making the assumption.

I've described an actual agent I know and how much effort they have had to put in toward getting one or more homes sold. Why ask a question if you are just going to shit on an answer that tells you what you have asked and discard the information shared and instead double-down on your uninformed assumptions as what is true?

Tried to help and you've shown you're not worth my time. Noted for the future.

I'm calling bullshit because I KNOW the agents themselves don't put in 80 hours of work per week to sell ONE house. That makes absolutely no sense. Maybe their whole team put in that much time (though I doubt that too), but not the AGENT.
