Closing one home sale a month can be enough for real estate agents, but it heavily depends on the home's price point, commission splits, and lead costs. For example, in lower-price markets, one sale rarely covers expenses unless agents run lean operations and negotiate value-based fees. Mid-price markets might allow a sustainable income, but this balance is fragile without strict budget control and effective lead management. Agents should focus on raising their average price point and improving commission margins to make one sale per month financially viable.
