I truly believe that not every brokerage is right for every person, so it’s ok if REAL isn’t for you! I spent time at traditional “legacy” brokerages and I three years at eXp Realty - the first cloud brokerage. And there were great things about each of them, but there were also things I would change. In 2024, I decided to move my real estate business to REAL Broker, LLC because I saw how they took what eXp created and made it better! I also know the value of a dollar and the numbers just made more sense. I had good years (where I ICONed) and not so good years, and no matter how much volume I did - I would have made more money at REAL! I also love the people at REAL. It is much more inclusive and collaborative then I felt eXp was. When you partner with me at REAL Broker, you will be joining over 15,000 agents who are super excited to meet you! If you join with as your sponsor, you become a member of my group - the “REAL Agent Collective,” where we mastermind, share, vent, and collaborate on all things business, real estate, finances, marketing, and family. Whether you are joining from my home state of Maryland, or anywhere across the US and Canada, there is a place for you here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6050fe6224a9ee3f84dedbe7/1620100566051-5ZRDFE63L1MD56TKEPBG/eXp+realty%2C+partner%2C+schedule+a+call Let's Partner https://www.amandacalhoun.com/links daily 0.75 2023-05-31 https://www.amandacalhoun.com/courses daily 0.75 2024-02-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6050fe6224a9ee3f84dedbe7/82ee6831-da04-4e54-a90c-bdc9b9787933/Real+Estate+Business+Plan+Graphic.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511387030-5LI1E5QMVTQ2RY9S00A4/20140228_Trade+151_0046+1.jpg Courses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511440608-5BVMHVN4WR2I9YQV1WWR/Aro+Ha_0010+1.jpg Courses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511467879-K5J9BYNACHJVDV3BNSFU/Aro+Ha_0387+1.jpg Courses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511743693-J3A8OYH6X8C7RXNU5K0J/20140301_Trade+151_0124+1.jpg Courses https://www.amandacalhoun.com/marketing-templates daily 0.75 2024-02-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6050fe6224a9ee3f84dedbe7/cd7cb77b-b94d-4d30-b713-03a1b5a77faa/Etsy+Graphics_Seller+Guide+%289%29.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6050fe6224a9ee3f84dedbe7/af18e3c9-10d8-4d9e-9904-e6fbd2a76449/Etsy+Graphics_Vendor+List+%2815%29.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6050fe6224a9ee3f84dedbe7/7651a84c-3745-4b1d-bb90-39007ddf083a/Etsy+Graphics_Seller+Guide+%281%29.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6050fe6224a9ee3f84dedbe7/155d4920-c3d2-47dc-ba06-0bb748400064/1.png https://www.amandacalhoun.com/store daily 0.75 2023-12-18
