When you factor in all of the other admin related tasks that independent broker has to manage, averaging $200k a month has got to be at least "Good", $300k a month has got to be at least "Superstar".

Also I use at least a 18 - 24 month time period to measure, because a broker can come in having a strong 2 or 3 months, then go dead in months 4 - 6, then decide he wants to leave the industry during months 9 - 12. With an 18 - 24 month measurement, you now have some form of consistency to judge an independent broker's actual competency and "status" as a Good, Superstar, or Average broker.

OK then based on all of that I would say those numbers are definitely on target if you talking 1 man shops handling all business themselves and using only a small marketing budget
