An office with five estate agents.
Together they make 3 sales and 2.3 lettings a month.
This follows from Statbel, the BIV and the CIB rent barometer.
Half of all sales go through an agent. That is our assumption.
Lettings count only Flanders and Brussels.
Times per task are our own cautious assumptions.
Each line is rounded down.
