The pay isn't good -- but its one way to get some transactions under your belt. It gets you in the neighborhoods. You have to be careful about picking your clients. Some leasing clients can take up as much time as a buying client. So choose carefully. I always allow our agents to take 100% of the commissions on leases. I figure if they are doing leasing its because they are cash strapped. Its a survival tool. One thing a new agent can do for immediate cash is leasing.
