Best Metrics for Real Estate Agents

Michael Alliman reveals how real estate agents navigate the complex financial landscape behind each home sale, where that familiar 6% commission is just the beginning of the story. As founder of a specialized firm serving real estate professionals, Alliman breaks down the metrics that matter most - from cost of sales and operating expenses to the often-overlooked importance of cash flow management. He shares insights on everything from the evolving nature of office spaces to why listings are more profitable than buyer representation, while offering a fascinating look at how real estate accounting differs across regions.
