Realty Executives

Realty Executives is a well-established real estate brokerage network serving both residential and commercial clients throughout North America. The company began in 1965 in Phoenix, Arizona, where it introduced a new approach to agent compensation that attracted experienced professionals and helped the brand grow quickly beyond its home state. By the late 1970s, Realty Executives had expanded nationally and later moved into Canada, building a reputation for supporting independent agents and franchise owners.

As of November 2025, Realty Executives operates more than 500 independently owned offices across over 30 U.S. states and several Canadian provinces. The network includes thousands of licensed agents and is managed by a corporate team based in Scottsdale, Arizona. Over the past five years, the company has focused on expanding its franchise footprint in major metropolitan areas and high-growth suburban markets, with notable new office openings in Texas, Florida, and Ontario. This recent activity reflects a strategic emphasis on regions with strong housing demand and population growth.

Realty Executives has evolved by adopting technology-driven brokerage models and supporting flexible office formats, including virtual franchises. The company continues to recruit experienced agents and new franchise owners, investing in digital marketing and agent development to stay competitive. Its long-standing presence, scale, and adaptability make it a credible partner for landlords, brokers, and developers seeking reliable tenants with a track record of growth and professional standards. The brand remains independently owned and is recognized as one of the largest and most enduring real estate franchise organizations in North America.
