Tamir Poleg, Founder and CEO of The Real Brokerage, is redefining real estate leadership by architecting an AI-powered, all-in-one platform that empowers agents and streamlines the home buying and selling journey. Since founding Real in 2014, Poleg has scaled the company to 29,000 agents and achieved 4,062% revenue growth from 2020 to 2023, earning recognition on Deloitte’s Fastest-Growing Companies list. By integrating brokerage, mortgage, title, and financial services into a seamless ecosystem, he is delivering scalable innovation that is reshaping the residential real estate industry.
In the past year, Poleg has steered Real through record expansion despite a challenging market. In Q1 2025, Real posted 76% revenue growth—outperforming an industry that declined by 2%—while more than doubling adjusted EBITDA to $8.3 million. He also led the acquisition of Flyhomes’ AI-powered search platform, accelerating the rollout of Leo for Clients, which complements Real’s AI agent assistant, Leo CoPilot.
A visionary leader, Poleg launched Real Wallet in 2024, a proprietary financial platform providing agents with faster earnings access, real-time net worth insights, and tools for tax management and reinvestment. Adoption has been swift, with more than 4,000 agents using the platform and deposits surpassing $12 million.
Under his guidance, Real surged from No. 10 to No. 5 on the RealTrends Verified rankings for residential brokerages based on sales volume. By aligning innovation with agent empowerment, Poleg has created a culture rooted in transparency, equity, and support, positioning Real as a trailblazer in the convergence of real estate and fintech.
