For the city of Toronto, a Senior Associate makes about $60 thousand a year. Additionally, Rare Real Eate offers “100% of gross commission” to its agents, so Scott’s earnings as a real estate agent are likely to be higher than the average $100 thousand a realtor seemingly makes in the area.
4. Taylor Donovan – $1.3 Million
An expert in the Communication and Public Relations area, Taylor Donovan is a massive asset for The Starke Group, for whom she serves as the Operations and Transactions Manager, a role she picked up in September 2021 when she joined Rare Real Estate.

She was also a part of The 5700 Inc. from July 2016 to August 2018, serving as the Communications Event Coordinator.
Given her highly valued position as the Operations and Transactions Manager of The Starke Group, Taylor’s annual earnings from the position are likely about $150 thousand. It should also be noted that while a real estate agent in Toronto might make about $100 thousand a year, this is not Taylor’s full-time role, so her earnings from this particular position are slightly less than average.
