In the residential real estate industry specifically, the "measure of success" tends to be the amount of volume you close. Year-in / year-out, as well as your career as a whole. But, volume alone will never fully reflect how well you did financially; it varies per deal. Sometimes you make 80% margin, and sometimes you make 25% margin. So how can I get my margin up you may ask? Dig into this B&R financial banger with Sean & Tim, as they educate their community on the differences between the two!
