Introduction
The 2016 NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OFREALTORS® Commercial Member Profile details thebusiness and demographic characteristics of NARcommercial members. Commercial members haveexpertise in the field of commercial real estate andhave experience working with many property types.
In 2015, there was a consistent rise in new membersto NAR’s membership across the board. This isevident by the increase of new commercial memberswith less than two years of experience, which nearlydoubled to nine percent up from five percent in 2015.The median years of experience in real estatedropped to 15 years in 2016 from 20 years in 2015, asdid the median years of experience of commercialmembers in commercial real estate to 20 years in2016 down from 25 years in 2015.
With an increase in new commercial members, wesee a shift in the license type of our members. Forty-seven percent of NAR’s commercial membersreported being brokers in 2016, which is down from 59percent in 2015. Licensed sales agents make up 31percent of membership, which is up from 24 percentlast year. Seventeen percent of commercial membershave a broker associate license, which is down from20 percent in 2015. Appraisal license holders accountfor 5 percent, which is consistent with last year.
While the number of transactions decreased slightly in2015, the sales volume increased. In 2015, themedian number of transactions for all commercialmembers was nine, down from 11 in 2014. Twenty-sixpercent reported having one to four transactions and30 percent reported having more than 20 transactions.
The median sales transaction volume in 2015 amongmembers who had a transaction was $2,931,000—anincrease from the median sales transaction volume of$2,916,700 in 2014. Only eight percent of commercialmembers reported not having a transaction at all,
which increased from six percent in 2014, likely due tothe new members in commercial real estate.
The median dollar value of sales transactions in 2015was $541,700, up from $521,700 in 2014. The medianlease transaction volume in 2015 among members

who reported at least one transaction was $600,000,compared to $500,000 in 2014. The median leasingdollar value for commercial members in 2015 was$221,200, compared to $203,800 in 2014.
Commercial members had a median annual grossincome of $108,800 in 2015, down from $126,900 in2014, which was the highest reported level since2006. A decrease in income may be associated withthe large number of new commercial membersentering the industry.
In 2016, the typical commercial member is 60 yearsold, unchanged from 2015. At 73 percent, the majorityof commercial members are male, down from 75percent last year.

Chapter 3
Commercial members had a median annual grossincome of $108,800 in 2015, down from $126,900 in2014 which was the highest reported level since 2006.
A decrease in income may be associated with thelarge number of new commercial members enteringthe industry. Brokers and appraisers tend to report thehighest median annual incomes, while sales agentsreport the lowest among licensees. Those with lessthan two years of experience reported a medianannual income of $43,400 in 2015, down from$67,200 in 2014; those with more than 26 years ofexperience reported a median annual income of$165,400 in 2015, up from $162,800 in 2014. Menreported a median annual income of $129,200compared to women at $81,300. Agents that workedless than 20 hours reported a median annual incomeof $21,600 and those that worked 60 hours or morereported a median annual income of $163,200.
Seventy-nine percent of commercial membersreported working at least 40 hours a week, down from82 percent last year. Appraisers and brokers workedthe most hours compared to sales agents whoreported working fewer hours per week. Men andwomen reported working roughly the same number ofhours per week. Agents with six to 15 years ofexperience reported working the most hours per week,while agents with less than two years of experienceand 26 years or more of experience worked the least.
Most commercial members are compensated on acommission basis. Consistent with last year, 42percent of commercial members are compensatedthrough a percentage split commission, whereby thecommission is split between the sales/leasingrepresentative and the broker or broker’s office. Overhalf of broker associates and sales agents work on apercentage commission split, whereas 42 percent ofappraisals work on a fee-for-service basis. Morefemales work on a percentage commission split thanmales and males tend to work on a 100 percentcommission basis. Agents with three to five years of
experience reported the highest rate of commissionsplit at 53 percent; whereas agents with six to 15years of experience reported the highest rate of 100percent commission compensation structure.
Sixty-five percent of NAR’s commercial membersderive 50 percent or more of their annual income fromthe real estate industry. The median amount ofincome from commercial activity that agents reported

Twelve percent offemales said they had no income from commercialactivity compared to only four percent of men. Womenderived a greater share of their income from othersources than men. The median amount of incomewomen brought in from all types of commercialactivities was 59 percent, compared to men whoderived 76 percent of their income from commercialactivities. The total amount of income an agentderives from commercial activity increases withexperience.
A total of 70 percent of commercial members derived50 percent or more of their income in 2015 fromcommercial sales. Broker associates and sales agentsderived more from commercial sales for their incomethan brokers and appraisers. Commercial sales alsocontributed to the annual income of women more sothan men. Agents with less work experience reliedmore heavily on commercial sales for their incomethan agents with more experience.
Thirteen percent of respondents did not derive incomefrom commercial real estate leasing in 2015. Only 27percent derived at least half to all of their income fromleasing properties in 2015. Fifty percent of appraisershad no income from leasing activity. Forty-one percentof commercial members drew no income fromproperty management activity. Property managers’activity increases with years of experience.
The majority—52 percent—of commercial membersreported working in a firm that is local, consistent withlast year. More brokers worked in a local firm thanbroker associates. In each firm, there were likely moreresidential than commercial brokers and agents at 46percent, slightly up from 44 percent in 2015. Aboutone third of firms had commercial agents only, thesame as last year. Brokers were more likely to work ata firm that had commercial agents only, whereasbroker associates worked at firms that had moreresidential agents than commercial brokers and
agents. Forty percent of all commercial members in2016 work at a firm that has between two and fivecommercial sales agents, leasing agents, or brokers,up from 24 percent last year. Twenty percent reportedthat they were the only commercial agent in the firm.Fifty-three percent of appraisers are the only appraiserin their firm, compared to only seven percent of brokerassociates.
