Frequently Asked Questions
What is GCI in real estate?+
GCI stands for Gross Commission Income — the total commission earned by a real estate agent before any deductions for brokerage split, desk fees, or expenses. It's the top-line revenue number agents use to measure production.
What is a typical brokerage split for a Canadian real estate agent?+
New agents typically start with a 60/40 or 70/30 split (agent keeps 60–70%). Experienced agents often negotiate 80/20 or better. Flat-fee brokerages charge a set fee per transaction instead of a percentage split, which can be more economical for high-volume agents.
How many deals does the average Canadian real estate agent close per year?+
According to CREA data, the average Canadian REALTOR® closes approximately 5–8 transactions per year, though this varies widely. Top producers in major markets close 20–50+ transactions annually. The median income for agents reflects this wide distribution.
What business expenses should a real estate agent budget for?+
Common agent expenses include CREA/OREA dues, MLS board fees, E&O insurance, marketing and photography, desk fees, franchise fees, CRM subscriptions, and vehicle costs. In Canada, total annual expenses typically range from $15,000–$50,000+ for an active agent.
