Nation’s Largest Minority and Woman-Owned Brokerage Joins Real

With $665 million in 2023 home sales, Village Premier Collection joins under Real’s Private Label Program

The Real Brokerage Inc. (NASDAQ: REAX), the fastest-growing, publicly traded real estate brokerage, today announced that Village Premier Collection, the nation’s largest minority and woman-owned independent brokerage, has joined the company under its recently launched Private Label program. Based in Atlanta, Village Premier brings $665 million in annual home sales across six states and the District of Columbia.

An accomplished entrepreneur, coach, speaker, author and U.S. Air Force veteran, Cheri Benjamin began her real estate career in 2000. She was hired as Village Premier’s first agent in 2013, and ultimately acquired the brokerage in 2019. Under her leadership the brokerage has grown rapidly over the past five years. Real’s Private Label program offers independent brokerages like Village Premier the ability to benefit from Real's tech-first, entrepreneur-centric platform while maintaining and continuing to invest in their own brand.

“I’ve known and admired Cheri for many years, and I couldn’t be more excited that she sees the value of aligning Village Premier with Real. Her values and business approach mesh seamlessly with Real so this couldn’t be a better fit,” Real President Sharran Srivatsaa said. “The Private Label program was designed for brokerages like Village Premier Collection that have built successful businesses on their own, but that will benefit from the resources of a larger platform. I’m excited to welcome Village Premier to Real and look forward to a long and beneficial partnership.”

Since Benjamin’s acquisition just prior to the pandemic, Village Premier has grown from three offices with 67 agents serving the Atlanta area to become the nation’s largest minority and woman-owned independent brokerage. Today, its nearly 500 agents serve the District of Columbia, Florida, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and Washington state.

“At Village Premier, our priority has been to build a community where every agent feels safe and is connected by a shared vision. We believe in reaching down and pulling someone up, and that’s in complete alignment with how Real has built its business. It’s a culture that accepts differences, rewards collaboration over competition and where agents are given the ability to build profitable careers,” Benjamin said.

Benjamin began as an agent in 2006. Her insights and expertise on the real estate industry have garnered national and local recognition.

Introduced in January 2024, Real’s Private Label and ProTeams programs make it easy for independent brokerages and teams to join the company. Through Private Label, Real’s white label program, independent brokerages are able to maintain their own brand, while reaping the benefits associated with being a part of Real. ProTeams, which is available to all teams, leverages Real’s proprietary transaction management platform to provide the flexibility to customize team members’ caps, splits and fees down to the individual team member level, allowing them to maintain their current structure.
