Last I knew, their <u>average<\/u> number of sales PER AGENT was about 55 deals per year. They have a waiting list to get in and charge a $10,000 (non-refundable) deposit just to join.

It got as high as 32 sales per year per agent. I don&#8217;t know what it is just now &#8211; but would guess it is in the high 20&#8217;s.
