The Real Brokerage Reveals Winners of its Annual Individual and Team Awards

Culture carriers, top-performing real estate professionals recognized during RISE 2023; company launches One Real Impact charitable fund

The Real Brokerage Inc. (NASDAQ: REAX), the fastest-growing, publicly traded real estate brokerage, used its second annual signature conference RISE 2023 to recognize the company’s culture carriers and top-performing professionals at the company’s agent recognition award ceremony.

“This year’s array of winners is a reminder of our success and how much Real has grown over the past year,” Chairman and CEO Tamir Poleg said. “As we’ve expanded to all 50 states within the U.S. and four Canadian provinces, we’ve continued to differentiate Real by attracting top producers who are dedicated to serving their clients as well as nurturing our unique culture as an agent-centric technology company that offers the most collaborative environment in real estate.”

In addition to honoring professionals for their contributions from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, Real used the company’s annual event to recognize four individuals who embody Real’s values and honor Sheila Dunagan, Executive Vice President of Brokerage Operations, with the company’s Lifetime Achievement Award. A 12-year real estate industry veteran with more than 30 years in Compliance, Dunagan retired at the end of October after three years with Real. During her tenure, Sheila oversaw Real’s entry into 32 states as well as the company’s expansion into Canada and helped grow the company from 100 Realtor boards/MLS’s to over 1,000 across North America.

The conference also served as a launchpad for One Real Impact, an assistance fund to support Real agents in times of need.

One Real Impact

One Real Impact is designed to be available when agents are impacted by any crisis that could impact their ability to do business, including major health concerns, the death of an immediate family member as well as natural disasters. During the three-day conference, the fund received more than $60,000 in corporate and agent contributions and is expected to be sustained through agent donations over time.

The fund is administered by E4E Relief, the leader in employee assistance, as a way to ensure security, confidentiality and global regulatory compliance while offering a streamlined application experience, 24/7 multilingual support and rapid payments.
