“Traditional banking systems treat commissions as irregular income, with legacy brokerage and banking systems causing delays in getting paid, understanding an agent’s financial picture and even obtaining working capital,” said Steve Johansson, Managing Director, FinTech Breakthrough. “Real Wallet introduces a new standard for B2B payments and lending: fast, automated, customizable and designed for the modern, independent entrepreneur in the competitive space of real estate. That makes Real Wallet from the Real Brokerage our choice for the ‘Business Lending Innovation Award.’”

Built within Real’s proprietary reZEN platform, Real Wallet centralizes an agent’s access to financial tools including business banking, tax planning resources and integrated lending through Real Wallet Capital. By embedding fintech directly into the brokerage platform agents use every day, Real Wallet helps professionals manage cash flow, access earnings faster and secure working capital to invest in growing their businesses.
