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.

One or two - I was a part-time agent, moving from one county to another, changing my name, getting married... I definitely started slow!

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.

A complicated question with our varied businesses, some homes, some investment properties, some forestland, some appraisals, some mgmt plans, and some timbersales. Of course all of it was done with the help of a great team.

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.

Back in 1985 coming out of college it took about six months to get the hang of the business and get into a routine, as I recall it was less than a handful.

I did 14 and all were from my sphere and neighborhoods that I sold in.
I kept everything on a spreadsheet - didn't know I needed a CRM...oh, there is so much I wish I had done differently to set processes in-motion back then!
