I’ve been a realtor for a bit over a year part-time and have always wanted to get into commercial, but am just starting to hit my stride the rest of the year has really been prospecting trying to find buyers. This month I have 2 listings 1 set to close early next month the other I‘m having cleaned then staged to list. My 3rd deal for the month my clients are closing on next week. Working on marketing as we speak to keep up momentum and building a 30/60/90 plan but really questioning should I go after commercial and will that allow me a steady or partial salary along with the sales & marketing that is my passion.

I’ve been in corporate buying/planning for about 10+ years and would love to walk away just not ready to do that with a family. Also thinking the commissions I’m going to make in residential probably can’t compare to commercial? Goal TY residential is 30-40k part-time take home commission I should be there or just short that’s on 4deals. Thinking if I went full-time my goal for year 2 would be 100k.

Would appreciate any advice on how that stacks up to commercial financially and difficulty of transition and placement especially in the Philly Area.
