Welcome back to the Real Estate Excellence Podcast, where we spotlight the most forward-thinking professionals reshaping the real estate industry. In Episode 265, host Tracy Hayes is joined by two Northeast Florida standouts: Angela "Gigi" Urbanski and Mike Rolewicz, team leader of the 904 Home Guide Team. Together, they share why they chose REAL Brokerage, and how it’s empowering agents like never before.
Whether you're a solo agent, team leader, or indie brokerage owner — if you're searching for freedom, flexibility, and financial growth — this episode is your roadmap.
π‘ What Makes REAL Brokerage Different?
REAL Brokerage is more than just a cloud-based company — it’s a tech-driven platform built for entrepreneurs, not just agents. As Mike puts it:
“We’re not agent-centric. We’re entrepreneur-centric.”
Founded by Tamir Poleg, a former tech entrepreneur, REAL Brokerage (NASDAQ: REAX) is designed to streamline every part of an agent’s business — from onboarding to marketing, compliance, training, and even commission payouts through Real Wallet.
Agents don’t waste time chasing paperwork or navigating bloated systems. Instead, REAL delivers:
-
Next-level user-friendly agent portals
-
AI-powered tools like Leo Copilot
-
Revenue sharing and stock incentives
-
Real-time collaboration and support from top agents around the country
π Collaboration Without Borders
One of the biggest myths about cloud brokerages is that agents are on their own. But at REAL, it’s quite the opposite.
“We're not a team — we’re in alignment.” – Gigi Urbanski
Mike and Gigi share how REAL agents in Northeast Florida meet in person, mastermind weekly, support each other’s recruits, and even co-consult new agents considering the brokerage. That’s real collaboration — without walls, egos, or silos.
And that collaborative mindset is exactly why REAL continues to attract some of the best real estate agents in Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and beyond.
π Agent Growth and Financial Opportunity
In Q1 alone, REAL added over 2,000 agents — and it’s just getting started.
Mike shares why he moved his 904 Home Guide Team to REAL and how it’s helping him scale without the constraints of traditional models.
Agents are tapping into:
-
Stock purchase programs
-
Revenue share income streams
-
Built-in CRM, marketing, and educational systems
It’s a model built to elevate agent entrepreneurs, not just salespeople.
