In episode 8 of My Real Estate Show™. CEO Sandi Lyn & co-host Josh sit down with Tim Scheib, a 22-year real estate veteran who walked away from a ReMax Hall of Fame and Titans Club career to join Real Broker last fall. A few months later, Real announced an $880 million deal to buy ReMax.

Tim breaks down exactly why it is not about the brand name once you have your own following.

Real bought 180,000 agents for a seat at the table, and now ReMax franchise owners are sitting in a much hotter seat than ReMax agents are. Plus why Sandi Lyn was surprised ReMax sold for under a billion, and how ReMax agents will eventually fit into Real's sponsor model.

Then the social media playbook. 1,200 days in a row posting on TikTok and Instagram. The 100 houses board, and vulnerability over showmanship.

If you are a ReMax agent with questions Tim is taking calls: 515-313-7137.
