Real Broker · Lubbock, Texas
Join the future of real estate in Lubbock with a brokerage that puts agents first — built around Tech, AI, Finance, and the freedom to build real wealth.
Why Real Broker
Real is a publicly traded real estate experience company built from the ground up for agents — not management. Agents keep more, earn ownership, and build income that goes well beyond the closing table.
The Full Picture
Most brokerages offer one: commissions. Real was built to give agents a complete platform for building income and wealth — not just a closing check.
Splits & Cap
No franchise fees, no monthly desk fees, and one of the best splits in the industry — before and after cap.
Once you pay $6,000 in post-cap transaction fees in a year, you reach Elite Agent status. Here's what that unlocks:
Your per-transaction fee drops from $285 to $142.50 — half price for the remainder of your anniversary year.
Culture Award earned by teaching classes on the Real Academy platform. Total potential annual stock at Elite: $24,000.
Ownership
Real trades on NASDAQ under REAX. Through three distinct award programs, agents earn real equity in the company — not just a paycheck.
REAX is traded on NASDAQ. Stock award programs subject to Real's current plan terms. Consult program documentation for vesting schedules and eligibility.
Platform & Tools
Real's proprietary platform — reZEN — was designed for agents in the field, not administrators behind a desk. Manage deals, communicate with your team, and run your business from anywhere.
Real's proprietary transaction and business management platform. Optimized for mobile and desktop — manage your pipeline wherever you are.
Real invests heavily in AI tools that help agents work faster, write better offers, analyze deals, and stay on top of their business with less manual overhead.
Integrated financial tools — including the Real Credit Card with cash-back rewards — designed to help agents manage income and build financial health alongside their business.
Keep your clients' transactions in-house. One Real Mortgage Corp. and One Real Title give agents the ability to provide an end-to-end experience — and earn more in the process.

See It For Yourself
The best pitch for Real doesn't come from a website. It comes from agents who made the move and never looked back.
If you're running an independent brokerage or a sizable team, Real isn't asking you to give up what you've built. Real's Private Label program lets qualifying brokerages operate under their own brand while accessing everything Real has to offer — technology, splits, stock, and rev share.
For teams, ProTeams gives team leaders extreme flexibility — custom splits, per-agent caps, and full reporting down to the CDA level. It's a brokerage-in-a-box powered by Real's platform.
Private Label availability varies by state. Reach out to learn whether your market qualifies.
