TORONTO & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Real Brokerage Inc. (NASDAQ: REAX), the fastest-growing, publicly traded real estate brokerage, today announced that it has surpassed 15,000 agents, a milestone which follows a record-breaking wave of new agent growth in January.
“We launched Real with a vision to partner with agents to simplify one of life’s most complicated transactions,” said Real Chairman and CEO Tamir Poleg. “The programs we’ve developed and the platform we built provide significant value to this community, and what we offer is resonating with agents throughout the U.S. and Canada. Our rapid growth is a testament to our vision of doing what’s right for both agents and the clients they serve.”
In January more than 1,000 real estate professionals joined the company, a marked increase from the previous year.
“The culture, model and platform of Real come together to create a platform of possibilities for agents,” said Real President Sharran Srivatsaa. “At Real, we are focused on creating infrastructure that allows for unique business models and, by combining it with a true ‘work hard, be kind’ culture, we’ve laid the groundwork for collaboration across networks and geographies like this industry has never seen.”
