Wonder what kind of commision???


What do these guys make on a sale


Roma had 90Gs, Moss had 27Gs, Arrononuv 7Gs on the board


Shelly a 89000 sale before they opened.

Roma another 90? from Lipke


None of them are licenced, to sell realestate, I'm guessing Williamson is, and that's why all the contracts go thru him, and why he has his job, so he gets a cut


I'm betting they don't clear 10%






You don't have to stand tall, but you do have to stand up!

Just watched it and Ed Harris's character said they get 10%.

When Levene made his $82,000 sale to the Nyborgs, he mentioned a $12,500 commission to Williamson. So it's possible they get more than 10% on a really big sale.

The commission may vary with which property they sell, and how much. Still, it appears to be between 10% and 15%.

Which means Roma had sold $97,000 that month, and was due for a monthly paycheck of between $9,700 and $14,550 - in 1991/92 dollars, or close to twice that amount at this writing.

Moss was at $27,000, which meant $2,700-4,050, probably not at quota. The other two were, well, in trouble.
