Today, Malcolm Lawson interviews Marvin Orieh, a solo agent from Atlanta, Georgia, who shares his experience and insights about REAL Broker. Marvin, with a background in Wall Street, has been in the real estate industry for nearly five years. His journey with various brokerages ultimately led him to join REAL Broker, and here’s what he has to say about it.

Career Journey and Decision to Join REAL Broker

Marvin started his real estate career with Berkshire Hathaway due to its connection to Warren Buffett, aligning with his Wall Street background. However, he soon realized the importance of a fluid business model and shifted to a cloud-based brokerage. After spending three years at eXp Realty, Marvin sought a brokerage with a culture that resonated more with his values.

"The culture of REAL was something that had always piqued my interest," Marvin explains. His decision to join REAL Broker was driven by the brokerage's strong culture and future-oriented model. He highlights the unique economics that benefit both new and veteran agents, emphasizing that “the splits just was more ideal for new and veteran agents”.

Technology and Simplicity at REAL Broker

A significant part of Marvin's positive REAL Broker review is its technology. Marvin appreciates the simplicity of the REen app, which consolidates multiple functions into one platform. "The REen app has eliminated the need for about four or five different websites and apps that I was using at my previous brokerages," he says.

This technology not only streamlines transactions and client interactions but also supports team management, making it easier for agents to focus on their core business activities. Marvin finds the tech-forward approach of REAL Broker to be akin to working for a tech giant: "Being here at REAL is like working for Google for Real Estate."

Training and Continuous Learning

Marvin underscores the importance of ongoing training and learning in the ever-evolving real estate industry. “The trainings here are written for agents that are in 2024, not 1984,” he notes, appreciating the relevance and accessibility of REAL Broker's training programs. Delivered through Zoom, these sessions are interactive and tailored to modern real estate practices.

One Community, One REAL

One of the standout features Marvin mentions in his REAL review is the inclusive community at REAL Broker. Unlike other brokerages where information might be siloed, REAL Broker promotes a culture of shared knowledge and resources. "All rising tide lifts all boats, not just a specific group of agents within the brokerage," Marvin emphasizes.

Content Creation and Educational Outreach

Beyond his role as a solo agent, Marvin is also a content creator, running a YouTube channel and podcast where he shares insights and strategies for real estate success. His goal is to provide value to other agents, regardless of their brokerage affiliation. Marvin’s content focuses on practical, cost-effective methods to generate leads and grow a real estate business.

Conclusion

Marvin Orya's experience provides a comprehensive REAL Broker agent review, highlighting the brokerage's supportive culture, advanced technology, and effective training programs. His journey underscores the benefits of joining REAL Broker for agents looking for a future-focused and community-oriented environment.
