The best real estate agents in the country earn over $100,000 a year. Though skill and tenacity have a lot to do with success, so does being in the right place at the right time. To that end, Fit Small Business performed an analysis of the biggest 50 metropolitan centers in the United States to determine which were the best markets for realtors.
Their report took into account eight weighted metrics, drawing from sources including the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Trulia, Zillow, and the United States Census Bureau:
