I honestly don't remembet 25+ years back. And I began my real estate career in NYC, where if you did one transaction a month you were a superstar.

It was a long time ago, and I really don't remember the annual number. I do remember having 4 sales the first month, and it about made me crazy because, like most new agents, I had no clue how much was involved in the whole process. 

Don't be disillusioned by these answers:  The first few months can be very difficult!  It's not uncommon to go 6 months without your first closing.  Dan Pittsenbarger's answer is probably most typical for new agents.

I had somewhere between 6 and 8. Was doing a lot of stuff for my broker that may be considered indentured servitude on today's standards. Looking back I should have probably affiliated with a different broker to start my career.

I started out here during interesting times. I no sooner got my desk set up that 9/11 happened, everybody freaked out but then the market went crazy. Then I had a fairly big surgery that grounded me for a month or so and when I got back we were all slammed. So out of a 10-month year probably a dozen transactions which is pretty good for a brand new stupid agent.
