    About Real Producers

    "Real
    Real Producers is more than a brand; it’s a movement. We’re strengthening real estate communities in top markets nationwide through our magazines - which tell the journeys of elite agents - and through invite-only social events, where industry movers and shakers can let loose while meeting the best.

    The total investment necessary to begin operation of an RP Business ranges from $975 to $5,650. We do not include any amount that must be paid to the franchisor or their affiliates because they are waiving the initial franchise fee for franchises offered or entered into on or after the Issuance Date of their disclosure document, unless their disclosure document is amended to reflect otherwise.
