- Contact with property agents and a wide social network.

Remuneration
As an independent broker you can expect to earn a minimum of two percent as commission on the actual value of sale.
So if you were to sell a flat for rupees ten lakhs, a two percent commission would be Rs. 20,000. And this is just the initial pay you can expect.
As you gain experience the commission also increases simultaneously. It can go upto 10 - 15 percent.
