56-agent brokerage grows Real’s presence in Northern California
TORONTO & NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$REAX #therealbrokerage–The Real Brokerage Inc. (NASDAQ: REAX), the fastest-growing publicly traded real estate brokerage, announced today that Legends Real Estate has joined the company. The Sacramento-based brokerage, led by John Pope, expands Real’s presence in Northern California.
“I’m excited to welcome the entire Legends Real Estate brokerage to Real,” said Real President Sharran Srivatsaa. “Throughout his 45-year career in residential real estate, John has developed a reputation for helping new agents succeed. His decision to roll his firm into Real reinforces the draw of the One Real culture to independent brokerages who are looking for a place where teamwork and collaboration thrive as well as the resources of a global platform.”
Pope joins Real as a regional broker, where he will be responsible for Northern California. Pope began his residential real estate career in 1978 and soon after became one of the youngest brokers in the nation to own a Century 21 office. He has won numerous distinctions throughout his career, including being named The Best Real Estate Office in Folsom, Calif., two years in a row, an award that is sponsored by The Folsom Telegraph and is based on readers’ votes.
“It’s important to change with the market,” said Pope. ”We looked at a number of different business models and were blown away by the leadership and culture at Real. The company’s business model aligns with how I’ve done business. My agents will benefit from being part of a bigger organization, and I look forward to doing what I love – helping agents succeed.”
Legends Real Estate and its 56 agents serve the three-county greater Sacramento metropolitan area. Founded in late 2022, Legends’ total transaction value exceeds $204 million.
