Why I Chose to Join Real Broker After 10 Years as an Independent Broker

by Maiyah Jimenez

After a decade of working independently in the real estate world, the decision to join Real Broker marked an exciting new chapter in my career. This wasn’t a move I took lightly. Real Broker aligns with my vision of modern real estate, empowering brokers through technology, the ability to retain a private label, stock options, and a unique platform for building out my team. Here’s why this step felt like a natural progression for me—and why I believe it will elevate both my business and the value I provide to clients.

Embracing Leading-Edge Technology

One of the key aspects that drew me to Real Broker was its strong focus on technology. Real offers a platform that integrates everything from client relationship management (CRM) and transaction processing to marketing tools. As an independent broker, I spent years piecing together various platforms and solutions to keep up with the rapidly evolving real estate landscape. Real’s ecosystem streamlines these aspects, helping me save time and better serve my clients.

Through Real’s platform, I can handle contracts, monitor transactions, communicate with clients, and manage my team all in one place. This integrated system eliminates the headaches of switching between tools and keeps everything organized, allowing me to focus on delivering value to my clients.

Retaining My Unique Brand with Private Broker Labeling

Joining a larger brokerage often comes with the compromise of losing your individual brand identity. Real Broker, however, respects the identity I've built over the past decade and allows me to retain a private label. This means I can maintain my unique branding while benefiting from the resources of a larger, tech-forward company. With Real’s support, I’m able to continue presenting myself as a unique player in the market while having access to tools and systems that give me a competitive edge.

Building Wealth Through Stock Shares

The real estate industry can feel transactional by nature, but Real Broker offers something different with its stock share program. As agents and brokers with Real, we have the opportunity to own shares in the company, creating a long-term wealth-building opportunity that extends beyond commissions. Being a shareholder gives me a vested interest in the company’s success and aligns my goals with Real’s growth.

This stock option aligns perfectly with my long-term financial goals, providing both short-term earnings and a stake in Real’s potential growth. Real’s stock offering isn’t just an employee benefit; it’s a true partnership that reinforces my commitment to the company’s mission.

Opportunity to Build and Lead a Team

After years of working independently, I wanted the opportunity to create something lasting—a team that I could mentor and lead. Real Broker’s team-building model provides the support and flexibility I need to recruit, train, and nurture new agents. Real’s platform helps with everything from recruiting to communication and transaction management, making it easier to oversee a team without losing focus on my own clients.

The company’s revenue share structure creates additional income opportunities, but more importantly, it motivates me to build a strong, high-performing team. I’m excited to support others in reaching their career goals and to grow together under the Real Broker umbrella.

The Bottom Line

Joining Real Broker felt like the right move at this point in my career. This decision is about more than just a new affiliation; it’s about joining a company that values innovation, supports individual brand identity, and offers real financial growth through stock and team-building opportunities. Real Broker has allowed me to leverage new resources while still being true to the identity I’ve crafted over the past 10 years, ultimately enabling me to provide an elevated experience for my clients. I’m thrilled to begin this next chapter and see where this partnership takes my business and my team. If you're an agent looking for a fresh start. Check out Real for more info.
