We made the move.
You don't have to
make yours alone.

No. It's a conversation about whether a move makes sense for your business, and it frequently ends in "not right now" or "not for you." Steve gets more out of being the person you call in two years than out of pushing you today.

Real acquired RE/MAX Holdings in an $880 million transaction announced in April 2026. The combined company has more than 180,000 agents across 120+ countries and roughly 8,500 franchisees.

RE/MAX and Motto Mortgage keep operating under their own brands. Per the companies' own announcement, agents and franchisees maintain their existing business model and brand identity while gaining access to reZEN. Anything beyond that is speculation — confirm specifics with your own broker.

Possibly, but not in the way you might expect. You're not being asked to switch companies — after the acquisition you're already inside the same one. Nothing on this page is a suggestion to leave your office, break an agreement, or change your brand.

The question that's still open is structural: whether you want to keep operating on your own or work inside a team. If that's worth twenty minutes, Steve is happy to talk it through — and he'll tell you if staying exactly as you are is the better answer.

No. They're two separate decisions. You can name Steve as your sponsor and never join SL Home Group, and it changes nothing about your split. The team is what this page is inviting you to, but it isn't a condition of anything.

Real's ProTeam framework sets the floor, and it's public: a team member pays a minimum of 10% per transaction to the team leader, set out in a Team Addendum filed with Real. That split continues even after you cap with Real.

You also choose your Real cap — $6,000 or $12,000. The $12,000 cap keeps you eligible for Elite Agent status; the $6,000 cap qualifies you for Individual Agent Production Awards. Both remain revenue-share eligible. Steve will walk you through SL Home Group's own arrangement on the call.

Real requires at least two licensed agents and a minimum of $5 million in closed sales volume across the prior twelve months, plus a fully executed team addendum on file. Real also offers simpler structures — a Domestic Team (maximum two members sharing a $12,000 cap) and a Marketing Group (shared marketing name, no minimum split).

If an agent names you as their sponsor, Real pays you a percentage of Real's own revenue split on that agent's closed transactions — 5% at the first tier down to 1% at the fifth, capped per sponsored agent per year between $4,000 and $800. You need producing-agent status ($450 in splits or fees every six months) to collect it. It isn't a fee you pay, and it doesn't reduce anyone's split.

Fair question, and worth asking directly. It pays only on real closed transactions, out of Real's own revenue rather than out of any agent's commission. There's nothing to buy in to, and no one earns anything from an agent who doesn't close business.

Real trades on Nasdaq as REAX. You can direct 5% of your commission (10% after capping) into the stock purchase plan and receive a 10% bonus in shares (15% after capping), vesting after a year. Capping earns 50–150 restricted stock units on a three-year vest. Share value can fall as well as rise.

Anything already under contract is governed by your current brokerage agreement, so the honest answer is that it depends on what you signed. It's one of the first things Steve will go through with you — he did exactly this in 2024.

Team leaders cap at $12,000 and must maintain at least a 10% team split on each deal. Real's ProTeams model lets splits, caps and fees be configured per agent, so the arithmetic changes with your structure. Worth a longer conversation than this page can hold.

Not from us. The form below goes to Steve's inbox directly. It isn't shared with Real Broker, it isn't added to a marketing list, and nobody contacts your brokerage.
