The National Association of Realtors’ (NAR) 2025 Member Profile highlights that despite the issues of housing affordability, realtor agents remain resilient and dedicated to their industry.
Approximately 74% of respondents indicated they were very positive they will continue to work in the real estate sector for at least two more years, indicating long-term confidence in the field despite market uncertainties. This year’s survey shows that the average member had 12 years of experience, up from 10 the previous year.
“The real estate market will always have a consistent flow of new entrepreneurs,” said Jessica Lautz, Deputy Chief Economist for NAR. “Despite the headwinds in the current market, the majority of agents who are realtors plan on staying in real estate as active professionals.”
Based on transactions and trends from 2024, the yearly report gives a quick overview of the commercial activity, revenue, firm affiliation, tech use, and demographics of NAR members.
Despite the current state of the market, the average agent reported roughly 10 sales in 2024, which is the same number as in 2023. At $2.5 million, the median sales volume per agent likewise stayed constant.
