“Real is an MLM.” “There’s no support.” “It’s a discount brokerage.” Amy and Joe have heard every myth about REAL, and they believed some of them before they joined. In this episode they take on seven of the most common ones with real numbers. Only 14% of REAL’s 37,000 agents have ever sponsored a single agent. REAL ranked #3 in North America for per-agent production. And 60% of the revenue agents generate goes back to the agents.

If you’re a team leader or broker who’s heard the rumors and wants the facts, or you’re already at REAL and want a better answer next time someone asks, this one’s for you.
