Cambodians live in a very unique economy. This is a case where the “laws of the jungle” are not necessarily to be followed or appreciated. They may be true for many areas around the world, but Cambodia offers an extremely unique set of rules, which makes real estate agents a very profitable line of business.

Agents in Cambodia make a lot of money. From buying and selling houses and apartments to renting them out, they can be very successful in the Cambodian real estate market. This article will look at how agents are able to make a living in Cambodia, and we will take a look at some of the opportunities that are available for them:

1. Commission Based

Some real estate agents are actively promoting and selling real estate or properties of other real estate developers. They get paid by commissions when properties get sold. For example, if a unit of condo is sold, they may get up to 20% to 30% of the total price of that condo. Let’s say a unit of condo is sold for $39000, 20% commissions of $39000 then $7800 or 30% commissions of $39000 then $11700.

2. Salary Based

Some real estate agents work with read estate developers to get salary. They work really hard to promote their real estate developers ‘properties (cond0s, flophouse, villas, land) to get monthly salary. However, if they have sold a lot of properties each month, they will quickly get promoted the position and get more incentive based on the hard work and result. They might get salary range from $500 to $1500 per month based on the position whey are in.

3. Real Estate Brokers

Some real estate agents have working as the real estate brokers. They buy properties from the real estate developers to sell it for themselves. This way they can work for themselves and get high income if their properties have sold. Real estate brokers don’t own any property, they work very smart as they buy properties with cheap price from the property developers after that put it on sale in high price. They’re repeatedly doing this to make profits.
