Good question.  I'm seeing many agents here claiming to be a million-dollar producer because they have been in business for a long time.  Once a client told me that his previous agent was a million-dollar producer but was not very knowledgeable.  She has been in business for 20 years.  So I guess title doesn't mean anything.  It all boils down to knowledge and your character, how willing you are to set aside your time to help or answer's your client's question.  I know some people are more nurturing and patient than others.

The dollar volume of closed listings and / or closed sales in a calendar year is how we used to measure it. It was a huge task formerly that today could be considered a piece of cake. A million $ in commission volume is the new annual target.

Oh lord I haven't seen that phrase in so many years!  When I first started in the biz, 1987, it was a big deal to reach the multi-million dollar agent status within a year.  But that was at late 80's prices so it would mean nothing now and probably accomplised in a month or two, not over a year.

When you're working in a market that the average price is $150,000 it can be a big deal... It's all relative.

With home prices being what they are today perhaps that term needs an upgrade to Billion Dollar Producer. 🤑

Million Dollar Producer doesn't impress anyone any longer. Selling 1 or 2 houses will qualify you for that status.

Well I'm a multi-million dollar producer since I sell $8M-$15M annually.

or

I'm a Million dollar producer anytime I earn $1 Million+ in GCI.

or

I can just leave that b.s. to the "it's all about me" agents and keep my focus on the million dollar smiles, reviews and referrals my clients give me because I take great care of them.

Lots of good answers here for you Raymond. It shouldn't matter if you are a million dollar producer or not if you aren't a good agent. In our market you may only have to sell 1 or 2 homes.

That is such an old idea - came about back when real estate sales prices were a whole lot less than they are today and selling a million dollar worth of real estate took a lot of effort.  Today if you are not selling at least a million dollars worth of real estate, you are not doing well at all.

It may mean something and it may mean nothing. Markets are different all over the country. Our median home value here is about 200k . . . and also how does the MLS give you credit? If you do both sides, you get sale price x2. I never really understood that! 

What makes you better? That you are doing volume with no or very little repeat business? Or that you have clients you've done a dozen deals with and they send all their friends? 

You can get way over a million that way! LOL

In our area it means selling 1M in a year which is not really that much. (4 houses avg).

R/M has a commission award for 1M in $$$. That seems more worthwhile.

It's however you define it!  Of course, that's 2-3 sales in my area for multi-million (based on sales prices), more if you go by gross or net commissions. 

 

Just like the "Top 1% of Agents" it's all in the definition YOU use.

1 million dollars is gross sales not commission income within 12 months in a published time frame. Life-time acheivement is something that COULD be promoted but I have never seen it. 
Unfortuneatly, with Keller Williams promotion of teams adopted by all other frachses, the word "PRODICER" if fradulent.  The 100 million dollar producer is impressive but it not revealed is the agent did none of that busienss but the 15 member team under the agent banner did.
The industry is is saturated with misrepesentation and agents too often rely on Success Theater, Vanity Metrics and Surragate Endpoints to market their services.

It was considered prestigious way back when to tout that in marketing and advertising in an effort to impress the consumer masses. Now, it matters little.

When I started selling homes in the Chicago western suburbs the high priced homes were approcahing 50,000 and most were sold under 40,000. Back then there were few million dollar producers and the term meant something.

Million Dollar agent isn't what it used to be. I think it is an agent who generates $1m in gross commission.
