The Attraction to REAL Broker
When asked what first attracted him to REAL Broker, Rick highlighted the community and talent within the company. He was drawn to the network of creative and technology-savvy agents who are dedicated to sharing knowledge and helping each other succeed. Rick noted, "The community is definitely the most important thing to me, and it's helped my business tremendously." For those considering joining REAL Broker, Rick’s emphasis on the collaborative environment is a strong endorsement.
A Company Built for Growth and Flexibility
Rick was also impressed by the growth of REAL Broker, especially as a newer company making significant strides in the real estate industry. He mentions how the masterminds and training sessions have been pivotal in his development, allowing him to connect with other agents and continuously learn new strategies. "There are so many different opportunities to learn different things... if you're a newer agent and you want to really figure out how to take your business to the next level, there’s so much training on REAL Academy that could help you do that," Rick shared.
Technology That Empowers
One of the standout features of Rick’s experience at REAL Broker is the cutting-edge technology that the company provides. He particularly values the ability to manage transactions from anywhere, even the beach, using their mobile app. This flexibility is a game-changer for busy agents who need to stay connected and efficient on the go. Rick mentioned, "The fact that I can manage my transactions from the beach without a computer is amazing."
Diverse Income Streams
Rick has also tapped into the multiple streams of income available at REAL Broker, which is a unique advantage of the company. From participating in the stock program to generating revenue through agent attraction, Rick has diversified his earnings beyond traditional real estate commissions. He’s also involved in the company’s mortgage division, further enhancing his business’s financial stability. "I get a direct deposit on the 15th of every month for supporting the agents that I attract," Rick explained, underscoring the potential for agents to grow their income in various ways.
A Culture of Collaboration
The culture at REAL Broker is another critical aspect that Rick appreciates. He describes it as one where agents are encouraged to share their best practices and insights with others, fostering a supportive and collaborative environment. This is in contrast to more traditional brick-and-mortar real estate offices where competition might hinder such openness. "Work hard, be kind," Rick said, summing up the ethos at REAL Broker.
