Even at ~$15K-ish, net expenses, for the average ground-oriented home in Metro Vancouver, a realtor would have to close a deal at least once a month, on average, to make a decent living.

That's not a glamourous life - it's comparable to the average income of a middle manager in the corporate world or public sector. Though, for someone with little actual education or hard skills, it's probably more glamourous than corporate sales.
