The reality is the opposite and you can tell easily when you are looking at numbers: on average an agent sells 6 houses a year, meaning many do fewer transactions and some a lot more.

I feel like it can get dangerous having all properties savings in one account, but I feel like there has to be a better way than having a separate account for each property.
