Home Builder Austin

What is the income potential as a sales associate with a home builder?

I have my Real Estate license in FL and considering applying for a position with Ryland homes...but no one can tell me how their pay structure is. Is it commission based only? What is the average income potential for this position? Is it better to be an independent contractor or work with a home builder? Thanks!

1. It really depends on how busy that company is in your area. I know the predictions are that new home sales will be down 15% this year. In VA we typically get 5% for new construction if we sell our own listing, but in FL I know many of those condo developments can pay upwards of 10%. As far as I know, sales positions are almost always commission only income. All in all, if Ryland homes is involved in those kinds of developments, I'm sure you can bring down six figures, despite the bad market. Of course you always sacrifice the freedom to prospect when you're confined to a sales office, so weigh your options carefully. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
