Calculating and Achieving Your Real Estate Goals


With half the year already gone by, it’s crucial to stay focused and make the most of the remaining months. At Homevets Realty, we're committed to helping you not only calculate your targets but also take the necessary actions to achieve them. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started:


Step 1: Define Your Income Goal

Start by determining your annual income goal. This is the amount you aim to earn from your real estate activities within a year.


Step 2: Calculate Your Average Commission Per Sale

Next, find out your average commission per sale. If you're new to the field, you can use industry averages or ask our experienced agents for typical figures.


Step 3: Determine the Number of Sales Needed

Divide your annual income goal by your average commission per sale to find out how many sales you need to achieve in a year. Number of Sales Needed=Annual Income GoalAverage Commission Per SaleNumber of Sales Needed=Average Commission Per SaleAnnual Income Goal​


Step 4: Adjust for the Remaining Months

Since half the year has already passed, you need to double your efforts for the remaining months. Calculate the number of sales needed in the remaining months by dividing the sales needed by two. Sales Needed in Remaining Months=Number of Sales Needed2Sales Needed in Remaining Months=2Number of Sales Needed​


Step 5: Understand Your Conversion Rates

Know your conversion rates:

  • Lead to Appointment Conversion Rate: The percentage of leads that turn into appointments.

  • Appointment to Sale Conversion Rate: The percentage of appointments that turn into sales.

If you don't have this data yet, use conservative industry averages or consult with our seasoned Homevets Realty agents.


Step 6: Calculate the Number of Appointments Needed

Use your adjusted sales goal and appointment to sale conversion rate to determine how many appointments you need: Appointments Needed=Sales Needed in Remaining MonthsAppointment to Sale Conversion RateAppointments Needed=Appointment to Sale Conversion RateSales Needed in Remaining Months​


Step 7: Determine the Number of Leads Needed

Finally, calculate the number of leads required by using your lead-to-appointment conversion rate: Leads Needed=Appointments NeededLead to Appointment Conversion RateLeads Needed=Lead to Appointment Conversion RateAppointments Needed​


Example Calculation

Let’s walk through an example:

  1. Annual Income Goal: $100,000

  2. Average Commission Per Sale: $5,000

  3. Number of Sales Needed: $100,000 / $5,000 = 20 sales

  4. Adjusted Sales Needed: 20 / 2 = 10 sales

  5. Lead to Appointment Conversion Rate: 10% (0.10)

  6. Appointment to Sale Conversion Rate: 50% (0.50)

  7. Appointments Needed: 10 / 0.50 = 20 appointments

  8. Leads Needed: 20 / 0.10 = 200 leads

So, to reach a $100,000 annual income goal in the remaining half of the year, you would need approximately 200 leads, assuming these conversion rates.
