It’s Pay Day. Brought to you by OrthoCarolina who reminds you that whether it’s career or health – never settle, keep improving.

The Agenda recently surveyed our smart, good looking daily newsletter subscribers and asked them uncomfortable questions, like – “How much do you get paid?” Below are the survey results from real estate professionals.

Update: “Commission” wasn’t an option on our Agenda survey, thus I chose “total compensation” to entail any/all self-reported pay.
