Real Continues to Strengthen Presence Throughout North America

Fastest-growing, publicly traded brokerage wraps up another strong month of growth; Real’s agent count now exceeds 19,000

The Real Brokerage Inc. (NASDAQ: REAX), the fastest-growing, publicly traded real estate brokerage, today announced that it continues to strengthen its footprint throughout North America following another strong month of agent attraction. Real’s agent count now exceeds 19,000.

“We couldn’t be happier that the Real platform, which is rooted in a unique agent value proposition, proprietary technology and a culture of innovation and collaboration, continues to attract some of our industry’s top professionals,” Real President Sharran Srivatsaa said. “As Real’s footprint continues to grow, we owe our success to our agents and the talented individuals, teams and independent brokerages we attracted in May that make us stronger collectively.”

Key drivers of Real’s rapid growth in 2024 include the company’s Private Label and ProTeams programs, which were introduced at the start of the year to make it easier for independent brokerage firms and teams to align with the company. Through Private Label, Real’s white label program, independent brokerages can maintain their own brand while benefiting from Real’s resources. The ProTeams program offers flexibility by allowing teams to customize team members’ caps, splits and fees down to the individual team member level, enabling them to embrace the structure that works best for them while enjoying the advantages associated with being a part of Real.

Below are some of the top-producing teams and agents who joined Real in May:
