Let’s get straight to it.

If you’re in the real estate industry, you already know Sharran Srivatsaa isn’t just another executive—he’s a force of nature.

He’s the guy who took REAL from 6,800 agents to over 26,000+.

He’s the guy who helped skyrocket its valuation from under $200M to over $1B.

He’s the guy who made generosity, culture, and financial transformation non-negotiables.

And now, after making the competition call REAL “the darling of the industry,” he’s stepping down from his day-to-day role as President.

Wait… What?!

I get it. News like this hits hard.

When you have a leader who’s been instrumental in shaping a company, seeing them shift roles makes you wonder, What happens next?

But here’s the thing—this isn’t a loss. It’s a strategic move.

Sharran isn’t leaving REAL. He’s leveling up.

So, What’s Next?

Instead of leading the daily grind, Sharran will be stepping onto REAL’s Board of Directors to serve as the agent’s voice at the highest level.

With the real estate industry going through seismic changes, having someone like him shaping strategy and vision?

That’s a win.

And let’s not ignore the timing here.

REAL has never been stronger—record-breaking growth, massive agent success, and a leadership team built for the next phase.

Sharran isn’t stepping away; he’s stepping into a bigger role to ensure this momentum keeps accelerating.

What This Means for You

If you’re already part of REAL, this should fire you up.

The foundation is solid, the leadership is aligned, and the company is positioned for even bigger things ahead.

If you’re on the outside looking in?

Let me be blunt.

The real estate game is shifting fast.

And the best players in the industry are choosing REAL for a reason.

Sharran Srivatsaa may be transitioning roles, but the mission remains the same: to build the most powerful platform for agents, period.

And based on what I’ve seen? The best is yet to come.
