NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun

Commercial real estate realtors that are members of National Association of Realtors reported both an increase in gross income and sales volume last year, according to the association's 2018 Commercial Member Profile. The annual study looks at the realtors who are members of NAR and who conduct all or part of their business in commercial sales, leasing, brokerage and development for land, office and industrial space, multifamily and retail buildings, as well as property management.

The top line finding of the report: 2017 was a good year for the community. “Commercial real estate professionals are reporting great growth in the past year, which has convinced more and more members to enter the commercial industry,” said NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun.

It found that the median gross annual income for commercial members hit an all-time high of $150,700 in 2017, up from $120,900 in 2016.
