    About United Real Estate

    As you consider the benefits of joining a real estate franchise, there's something you should know. When you present United Real Estate's marketing program to property owners in your area, you are offering them something that none of your competitors can provide. Armed with these tools, you have the power to dominate your market.


    In every decade since 1970, the real estate brokerage industry is disrupted by a new business model which dramatically reallocates how market share is divided among the competitors. In each case, the new disruptive model has succeeded in overtaking the leading national real estate companies in a number of total agents and the number of transactions closed. Each disruptive model has succeeded by offering a similar value package of services to the agent but with an incremental positive change to the net earned commissions to the agents.
     
     

     

    United Real Estate doesn’t believe incremental changes are what the real estate industry needs. Lasting change is required today to remain relevant in the decades to come.

    United Real Estate is committed to delivering the most powerful national solution where owners, brokers, and agents win consistently on every deal, eliminating the challenges of outdated brokerage models and creating an environment of success for all parties.
