How many deals do you close in a given year? Where do you work? And average price of a deal?
Hi, I’m a new realtor who is about to work on a commercial team. I’m interested in learning from this subreddit :

1. How many deals do you work on and close in a year on average?
2. Which city / region are you located?
3. What is the average price of a deal?
4. What did you wish you knew before starting as a commercial realtor?
