What moved & why

Competitor WatchFrom Inman editorial

The fastest net recruiter on the board (+156 agents/30d), Real competes on economics plus an AI-forward tooling pitch that increasingly closes the recruit, not just opens it. Strongest pull in South Florida and now the Northeast. If your retention conversations are about splits alone, Real is the firm proving tooling is now a recruiting weapon.

Per Inman reporting: The Real Brokerage net-added 156 agents in 30 days; team leads cite AI tooling alongside economics as the deciding factor.
