  • Real Broker Stock (REAX): How Agent Equity Actually Builds Wealth (2025)
    Oct 29 2025

    In this episode we unpack real broker stock — what REAX means for agents, how Real grants restricted stock awards at capping/attraction/elite milestones, the commission-purchase plan that lets you buy discounted shares from 5% of your commission, and the three-year vesting clock that turns routine closings into long-term equity. We also cover liquidity, tax considerations, and practical scenarios for new agents vs. top producers so you can decide whether stock belongs in your career plan.

    What you’ll get from this episode:

    • How Real issues RSU grants when you cap, attract a producing agent, or hit Elite bonuses — and why that compounding can matter over 3+ years.

    • The stock purchase plan explained: route up to 5% of commissions into REAX at a ~30% discount and how monthly purchases accumulate.

    • Vesting, holding, and departure rules — what vests, what you keep if you leave, and how the three-year schedule works.

    • Real-world math: example scenarios for a new agent directing 5% per closing vs a high-volume producer stacking cap grants and Elite awards.

    • Liquidity and market context: REAX trades on NASDAQ (dual-listed) with thinly traded small-cap dynamics to watch before you buy or hold.
