Our Brokerage

Our Brokerage

In 2026, the Next Home Hub Team was proud to align itself with Real Broker.
 
Real agents across the US and Canada are dedicated to serving communities with expertise and compassion, leveraging a powerful network to connect clients from bustling cities to small towns. They are one of the fastest-growing publicly traded brokerages, to the end of Q4 2024, Real Agents had generated over $49 billion in value of homes sold.
 


Real Agents leverage cutting-edge technology, to integrate real estate, mortgage, and closing services, providing a seamless, end-to-end experience for their clients. They are revolutionizing the real estate experience, and we wanted to be part of that – an organization whose culture promotes the tagline “Work Hard. Be Kind.”
