Our Story
The industry
needed to change.
We didn't build this for us. We built it because the industry needed to change.
For too long, real estate agents have been trapped in a cycle: work harder, spend more on leads, and hope for the best. You’ve likely heard the same two options:
"Join a team," which often means sacrificing your brand and your identity.
"Go independent," which leaves you with no support, no pipeline, and no safety net.
We saw the gap. Agents didn’t need another traditional brokerage; they needed a performance platform that provided a real pipeline of vetted leads, the technology to convert them, and the accountability to follow through - all without giving up who they are.
Your brand. Your business.
Our resources. That's the deal.
— Jeremiah Kobelka, CEO & Founder
Why We Partnered with Real Brokerage
We could have built The Kollective anywhere, but we chose Real Brokerage because they are building the model we actually believe in.
The Brokerage Model is Broken
Traditional brokerages take too much and give too little. Agents are often nickel-and-dimed with desk fees, franchise fees, and technology dues - only to hand over another 20-30% of every commission for a logo and a desk they barely use.
Real is the Fix
Real Brokerage (NASDAQ: REAX) is a publicly traded, cloud-based platform that has eliminated the bloat.
No Overhead: No expensive offices or franchise fees to pass along to you.
Agent-First Economics: Savings flow back to the agents through competitive 85/15 splits.
Cap: $12,000 cap for solo agents and $6,000 cap for team agents
Wealth Building: Agents can build real equity through stock options and a five-tier revenue share model.
Leadership & Regional Presence
We aren't a distant tech company; we are a community of over 80 agents and leaders who have been exactly where you are. Our regional leadership, including Greta, Ruben, and our dedicated directors, provides the high-level support necessary to scale your business.
We currently provide infrastructure and leads across four states:
