PHILADELPHIA _ Is there a "typical" real estate agent? The National Association of Realtors would like us to think so.

The association's most recent survey, from 2001, determined that the typical Realtor:

Has a gross personal income of $47,000 a year.

Works 43 hours a week.

Is a sales agent who has been in the business for 13 years.

Has been with the same firm for five years and has worked for one other firm.
