Hello, Thank you for providing your feedback. Our commission structure is a tiered one - the more leases sold in a month, the greater earning potential on each lease as you move up the tiers. Top leasers in New York City can make in the six figures (base salary plus commissions) so all leasing agents are encouraged to keep up their great efforts!
