Real Estate Almanac 2025

In one of the biggest jumps on this list, Srivatsaa moves up from No. 117 reflecting the agent-centered tech platform’s continued remarkable growth, and his growing presence and influence in the industry. A dynamic leader with a respected voice in the industry, he has helped Real expand its operations to operate in all 50 U.S. states, Washington, D.C. and Canada, since joining the firm as president in 2022. Real is a top 20 brokerage nationally with over $21 billion in sales volume. Srivatsaa is also chair of real estate private equity company ARC Multifamily Group.

Poleg leads one of the nation’s 25 largest brokerages in Real, whose over 13,000 agents do more than $21 billion in annual sales. He has orchestrated rapid growth for the firm he-cofounded in 2014 by leveraging a revenue-sharing, capped model that incentivizes organic growth. In 2024, he oversaw the release of two new programs to further the firm’s growth with Private Label, which allows firms to retain their branding on Real’s platform, and ProTeams, which allows teams to customize payments programs to agents. The firm also launched a new luxury division, Real Luxury.
