In today's challenging market, continuing your REALTOR® education is the best way to invest in your career. According to the 2013 NAR Member Profile survey data, the median income of REALTORS® with no designations was $33,500. However, REALTORS® who invest in their careers and obtain at least one professional designation earn an average of $61,000 annually—a difference of $27,000. That’s an average income boost of just over 45%.
