About Us
THE REALTYJOY STORY
RealtyJoy was born out of necessity. As the owners of a multi-state, 20+ office real estate brokerage in the Upper Midwest, we needed to find a way to help some of our senior agents transition to the next phase in their lives and careers. They were ready to retire, but they wanted to keep their real estate license active so they could continue to make referrals and earn a steady income into their retirement years. So that’s what they did. They kept paying the fees, they kept paying the dues, and they kept referring business to active agents…but something just didn’t seem fair.
As a high-performing brokerage with billions of dollars in sales, we belong to the MLS, our state and national associations, and have other fees that all of our agents are required to pay. Again, while these costs are just a normal part of doing business in our world, we didn’t think it was fair for our retired and semi-retired agents to have to pay these costly fees and dues – especially when they were not utilizing the services.
After several months of research and development, we launched RealtyJoy on Jan 1, 2022 as a $29/mo Non-MLS brokerage
with no MLS dues, no association fees and no E&O costs. All of our retired agents immediately moved their license over and instantly added thousands of dollars to their bottom line. There has been so much excitement around
RealtyJoy that we decided to open it up to agents and brokers across the country that may find themselves in the same situation.

RealtyJoy agents help their buyers and sellers by referring them to pre-screened, active real estate agents. Whether you want to send referals to your favorite agent or let us do the legwork, together we’ll make sure your clients are well taken care of.

You have questions. wE have answers.

Great question! There are several reasons to join RealtyJoy. The main reason agents join our brokerage is to lower the costs involved with keeping their real estate license active. Why pay the high fees and dues of a traditional real estate company when you no longer need those services?
We have designed an easy-to-follow system that provides a daily list of “things to do” that will help you mine and grow your database of past clients and sphere of influence for referrals. Following RealtyJoy’s Referral For Life System™ is not required, however, if you would like to ensure a steady stream of referral business well into your retirement years, we highly recommend following our system. Work as little or as much time as you like…it’s completely up to you!
