yeah they do make that much.....very competitive business and when the bubble breaks (home sales) they wont be moving as much.
there are also a lot of differences from an agent and a broker-
A real estate agent is a person licensed by the Department of Real Estate to handle real estate sales. A broker, also licensed by the State, is the person who may own a real estate company or who has overall responsibility for the agent's actions. The agent or broker will have had to take real estate courses and pass an exam before he or she could have become licensed to practice.
