The program gives Real’s 12,000+ agents access to discounted coverage for themselves and their families

TORONTO & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 5, 2023-- The Real Brokerage Inc. (NASDAQ: REAX), the fastest-growing publicly traded real estate brokerage, today announced that it has partnered with Global Benefits Partners in the U.S. and Sterling Capital Brokers in Canada to help its affiliated agents gain access to a wide range of healthcare benefits. The partnership allows Real agents to benefit from group purchasing power, which can translate into more competitively priced insurance options.

As independent contractors, real estate agents have historically had difficulty securing access to healthcare. According to the National Association of REALTORS^®, up to one-third of its members go uninsured every year. By offering education and expert planning assistance, Real is attempting to close this gap.

“Gaining access to affordable, quality healthcare plans to protect themselves and their families has been one of our agents' top concerns and one of our key priorities,” Real Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Tamir Poleg said. “We are excited to provide access to resources that give our agents across the U.S. and Canada the ability to not only have more choices when it comes to obtaining healthcare coverage, but the expertise of consultants who can help them make informed decisions.”

In the U.S., Real agents can work with Global Benefits Partners to educate themselves about and potentially select from curated medical, dental and vision plans, voluntary benefits, disability income insurance and term life insurance at group rates at a savings of up to 35% depending on the plans and coverage they select. In Canada, agents working with Sterling Capital Brokers have the option of selecting supplemental health and dental insurance, wellbeing programs and income replacement insurance that meets their needs.

These partnerships are the latest ways in which Real is creating value for its agents. In addition to offering some of the highest commission splits in the industry, Real provides increased earnings opportunities for agents through a culture that encourages collaboration as well as stock ownership in the company and revenue sharing. Throughout 2023, Real has enhanced its Revenue Sharing Program by making more agents eligible for the program and introducing an industry-first Co-Sponsorship and Williable Revenue Sharing programs.
