Looking for a Christian Real Estate Company?
Agents ask us these types questions all the time:
“Do you know of any Christian Brokerages in my area?”
“Are there any Christian real estate companies out there?”
“Do you know a Christian Broker in my area?
Unfortunately, even after running the Christian Real Estate Network for 20+ years and working with thousands of agents, we’ve found that the reality is that there are very few “Christian real estate companies” out there. They are typically very small independent companies and there are only a small handful of them nationwide.
But, we believe we have found a solution to this common question as many agents have found that with REAL Broker, they have the platform to build their own faith-based personal real estate business.
REAL provides the technology, platform and support - you provide your God-given vision to build the real estate business God is calling you to.
The Christian Real Estate Network is your community of like-minded believers that will come alongside you to champion your vision and give you accountability and support.

Earn passive Income & Stock
One of the most unique things about REAL Broker is the ability to earn additional streams of income with the company. This is a huge benefit, especially since many agents also don’t have a viable plan for retirement. When they stop production, they stop earning, which can be a major problem if they have no other sources of income.
Revenue share
Through the Revenue-Share program, agents that encourage (sponsor or co-sponsor) other agents to join will earn a percentage of that agent’s commission. This could mean simply encouraging like-minded agents to join REAL.
REAL has chosen to grow with a production based model as opposed to a marketing based model. The money that a big corporation would typically put into marketing, REAL has given back to their agents in the form of revenue share in order to help grow the company more organically.
Here is a breakdown of the potential Revenue-Share commissions
For example, if you encouraged 5 agents to join REAL, and each of them capped, that would be an additional $20,000 of passive income for you each year.
Revenue share is also “willable”, which means that you can name a beneficiary to the income you receive from revenue share and pass it on to your heirs.
Stock rewards
REAL is a publicly traded company that regularly gives stock rewards for meeting various goals and milestones.
When you cap, you receive 150 shares of company stock. *Resets every anniversary year and you can receive the reward an unlimited number of times.
When you attract (sponsor) an agent, you receive 75 shares of company stock
When you hit Elite agent (typically at 20-25 transactions for most agents), you receive $16,000 in company stock. After hitting Elite agent, you can receive an additional $8,000 in company stock each year for participating in Real Academy as an occasional coach. * Resets every anniversary year and you can receive the reward an unlimited number of times.
independent brokers & teams
Another requirement for choosing the best fit for a Broker is how their platform supports independent Brokers & Teams. We’ve found that REAL Broker Pro-Teams is the most innovative and flexible platforms in the industry.
Keep your brand identidy
Design your own team model, splits & caps any way you want, down to the agent level.
