1. Purchase stock at a discount with commissions
Agents can have 5% of net commissions paid out in stock. Real will grant 25% worth of additional shares one year after the transaction at no cost to agent. After capping, agents can have 10% of net commissions paid out in stock up to a maximum of $15,000/year. Real will grant 50% worth of shares one year after transaction at no cost to agent.
2. Earn stock by capping and attracting agents
When an agent caps, the agent will be granted shares in stock. When an agent directly attracts another agent to the company, and upon the attracted agent’s completion of the first transaction, the attracting agent will be granted shares in stock. Both will have to remain in good standing throughout the vesting period.
3. Elite Agent stock awards
Agents can earn Elite Agent status if they reach specific production benchmarks. Once you earn this status, you are granted shares in stock and become eligible to earn more shares in stock through different cultural benchmarks.

Why choose Real?

A
If you are motivated to build your own business, you are independent, self-driven and comfortable with working online and you’d like to keep more of your commission while also accessing free, best-in-class technology tools and great support, then Real could be the brokerage you’re looking for.
While traditional brokerages take a large portion of your commission and discount brokerages skimp on support and charge hidden fees, Real provides a larger commission split (85%, with the ability to earn 100% for the remainder of the year after reaching an annual cap) and no hidden fees.
Real can offer both great support and a great split because we cut our own overhead. We are not a franchise so there are no franchise fees, and we use technology and data to automate and optimize processes.
Through an innovative app, agents have the power to grow their own brand, make their own schedules, and work from anywhere, anytime. The app itself gives agents access to transaction documents, marketing materials, a CRM, the latest listings, on-demand real-time support, and even the ability to build a beautiful, custom website and generate a Facebook business page in a few taps.
This is what Real offers today. Tomorrow will be different because Real, along with agents and consumers, is always innovating.
