Real's July Agent Survey: Agent Optimism Index Jumps to Four-Month High as Transaction Activity Shows Signs of Improvement
The Real Brokerage Inc. (NASDAQ: REAX, 'Real'), a leading real estate technology platform redefining the industry through innovation and culture, today released results from its July 2025 Agent Survey. The data shows a significant rebound in agent optimism and an improving trend in home sales activity relative to June, despite ongoing affordability concerns, and a continued shift in negotiating leverage toward buyers. It also highlights the critical importance of service, communication, and responsiveness when agents advise clients on which mortgage and title service providers to work with. 'Our July survey confirms that the ongoing pressure from affordability and macroeconomic concerns is cementing a firm shift to a buyer's market across the industry,' said Tamir Poleg, Chairman and CEO of Real. 'The survey also shows that clients lean heavily on their agents for advice and guidance on which ancillary service providers to use, indicating that providers who deliver transparent communication and timely service stand out. We believe in the future, greater adoption of technology and AI can enhance service levels and better address this critical need for clients.' Key Survey Findings: Market Trends and Insights Agent Optimism Rebounds to Highest Level in Four Months: Real's Agent Optimism Index, which measures agents' 12-month outlook for their local markets, jumped significantly to 67.2 in July from 59.5 in June. This marks the highest reading in four months, with 63% of agents feeling more optimistic compared to the prior month, including 15% who felt significantly more optimistic. (Scores are weighted on a 0-100 point scale, with scores above 50 indicating net optimism and scores below 50 signaling net pessimism.) Transaction Activity Shows Gradual Improvement: Real's Transaction Growth Index, which tracks agent-reported year-over-year changes in home sales activity within their local markets, rose to 49.3 in July, an improvement from 46.2 in June. This suggests that the pace of decline in transaction activity was more moderate in July than in June. The data shows that while 37% of agents saw fewer transactions compared to last July, 34% saw an increase, and 29% reported activity that was approximately flat year-over-year. (Note: This index reflects agents' perceptions of local market trends and is not indicative of Real's company-specific transaction volume. Scores are weighted on a 0-100 point scale, with scores above 50 indicating year-over-year growth and scores below 50 signaling a decline.) Markets Continue to Favor Buyers: In July, 52% of agents said their local market favors buyers, up from 48% in June. Only 19% said it favored sellers, a notable drop from 26% in June, with 29% describing conditions as balanced. Affordability and Economic Uncertainty Remain Top Challenges: Affordability continues to be the top challenge for buyers, cited by 58% of agents in July, an increase from 51% in June. Economic uncertainty also remains a significant hurdle, cited by 22% of agents in July, down from 26% in June. Meanwhile, inventory constraints and buyer competition were seen as lesser issues, cited by 12% and 5% of agents, respectively. Key Survey Findings: Agents Role in Recommending Closing Services Providers The survey findings reveal that agents play a critical role in navigating clients throughout a real estate transaction, and their recommendations on mortgage and title service providers hold significant influence over a client's ultimate decision on which provider to choose. Clients Rely More on Agents for Title than Mortgage: A much higher rate of agents (62%) reported that their clients use their recommended title provider nearly always (75%-100% of the time), compared to just 40% who mentioned clients nearly always work with their recommended mortgage provider. This suggests clients are more willing to defer to their agent's judgment for title work, while they are more likely to shop for mortgage rates. Service Is Everything: Responsiveness and Communication are the Key: When asked to name the single most important factor in recommending a closing services provider, agents gave the following responses: For Mortgage Services: For Title Services: Responsiveness and communication of the title officer: 39.0% Accuracy and efficiency of title work: 29.8% Existing relationship with the provider: 16.1% Speed and certainty of title clearance and closing: 15.2% What Would Make an Agent Recommend a New Provider? The survey reveals that beyond pricing, the most compelling reasons that would prompt agents to switch closing services partners fall into four key buckets: Speed: Faster and more reliable closings are a primary motivator, cited by 29.9% of agents for mortgage providers and 25.7% for title providers. Dedicated Support: Having a dedicated support team with proactive communication specifically for that agent's brokerage is a major driver, selected by 25.9% of agents for mortgage and 26.3% for title. Technology: Superior, easy-to-use technology is also a significant factor for both, at 14.7% for mortgage and 17.8% for title. Seamless integration with brokerage platforms was a lesser but still present factor. Nothing: A notable percentage of agents said nothing currently listed would compel them to switch from their current provider, at 15.2% for mortgage and 18.6% for title. A full summary of these results can be found on Real's investor relations website at About the Survey The Real Brokerage July 2025 Agent Survey included responses from over 550 real estate agents across the United States and Canada and was conducted between July 31, 2025 and August 14, 2025. Responses to questions regarding transaction growth and agent optimism were calibrated on a 0-100 point index scale, with readings above 50 indicating an improving trend, whereas readings below 50 indicate a declining trend. Responses are meant to capture industry-level information and are not meant to serve as an indication of Real's company-specific growth trends. Additionally, given the smaller sample size, there can be greater variability in Canada index results on a month-to-month basis.

This Under-the-Radar Stock Could Be the Next Palantir
Key Points The Real Brokerage is rapidly taking a share of real estate agents in the United States. It is trying to use AI and software to disrupt real estate transactions. Fast growth makes the stock an intriguing buy right now. 10 stocks we like better than Real Brokerage › Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) has put up astounding returns in the last few years. Since the beginning of 2023, shares are up more than 2,200%. That's over a decade's worth of life-changing returns in just two and a half years. Now, at a market cap of $350 billion and a price-to-sales ratio (P/S) greater than 100, it looks like future returns for Palantir stock will be weak. The math around valuation eventually catches up to a stock in the long run. Miss out on Palantir? Then you might be interested in this other fast-growing artificial intelligence (AI) and software platform: The Real Brokerage (NASDAQ: REAX). Here's why the stock has a chance to put up 10x returns like Palantir in the next few years. A lower-cost digital brokerage for real estate agents The residential real estate market has not yet been brought into the 21st century. People looking to buy and sell homes have to deal with high commission rates, while real estate agents deal with legacy in-office brokerages that operate slowly. There is a lot of friction and time wasted in real estate transactions that can be saved with digital tools. This is where The Real Brokerage steps in. As a cloud-based brokerage, it offers a digital brokerage and software tools to real estate agents who want to escape legacy brokerages. You see, every real estate agent is required to use a brokerage to process residential real estate transactions. However, historically, these brokerages would take a large cut of the commissions earned by real estate agents, a process still employed today even with modern internet real estate portals. With no offices and a software-first approach, The Real Brokerage has lower costs and therefore can take a smaller cut of transactions for real estate agents who work for the platform. Lower costs and robust software tools are driving agents to switch to The Real Brokerage. In the first quarter of 2025, the number of agents signed up with the brokerage grew 61% year over year to around 27,000. More agents mean more real estate transactions, which led to a 76% increase in revenue in the quarter to $354 million. Since going public, The Real Brokerage's revenue is up more than 10,000% cumulatively, making it one of the fastest-growing companies on the planet. Macroeconomic headwinds turning to tailwinds? The Real Brokerage is growing quickly despite the fact that existing home sales have frozen in the United States because of high interest rates. Annualized transactions have fallen to 4 million in recent quarters, compared to around 6 million in a normal environment. Fewer transactions in residential real estate mean weaker demand for The Real Brokerage. However, it is still taking a ton of market share and should benefit once this eventually unfreezes. Think of this as a slowly filling demand for potential home purchases. People want to buy homes or move, but cannot afford to because of mortgage rates and home prices. As this changes, investors could see huge growth in existing home sales, which will help the growth of The Real Brokerage. Why The Real Brokerage could become the next Palantir What makes The Real Brokerage like Palantir is not only its fast growth, but its embrace of AI. It has launched Leo AI, a digital AI concierge for real estate agents to help with busywork around homebuying and selling. As mentioned above, buying a home is an arduous process for both the buyer and the agent. This is a tailor-made situation for AI, and The Real Brokerage is building products for it. Over the long term, The Real Brokerage is working to build an AI-assisted real estate portal for clients, which would likely compete with Zillow Group. While it's a long way away from being widespread, The Real Brokerage has large ambitions and is executing at a blistering pace to try to become the AI and software layer of the residential real estate market. Today, you can buy shares of The Real Brokerage at a market cap of just $823 million. The company is not yet profitable and close to breakeven, but this is quite a small feat for a company that generates $128 million in gross profit and is growing revenue at more than 50% year over year. It does not come without risks, but The Real Brokerage looks like a potential huge stock winner for those who buy shares today. Do the experts think Real Brokerage is a buy right now?
